Abstract excerpt
Despite a common lymphoid recombinase, assembly of Ig genes is restricted to B cells, whereas TCR loci rearrange in T cells. Transcriptional promoters and enhancers are critical for the regulation of the recombination process. However, the specific function of such elements in conferring the lineage-restriction of V(D)J recombination remains poorly understood. To gain further insights into the mechanism...
