Abstract excerpt
Immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) class switch recombination (CSR) takes place between large switch (S) regions that precede exons of the constant region. The precise functions of the S region are controversial, although transcription of the S region targets CSR. We have tested the effects of deletion, inversion and replacement of the endogenous 12-kilobase S(gamma1) region on CSR in vivo. Here we show that...
