Abstract excerpt
Previous work has demonstrated that intergenic V(D)J rearrangement, a process referred to as trans-rearrangement, occurs at an unexpectedly high frequency. These rearrangements generate novel V(D)J combinations which could conceivably have some role in the normal immune system, and since they probably arise through chromosomal rearrangements akin to those associated with lymphoid neoplasia, they may also serve as...
