Abstract excerpt
In the mammalian immune system, V(D)J rearrangement of immunoglobulin (Ig) and T-cell receptor (TCR) genes is regulated in a lineage- and stage-specific fashion. Because each of the seven loci capable of rearrangement utilizes the same recombination machinery, it is thought that V(D)J recombination of each antigen receptor locus is regulated through the differential accessibility of each locus to the V(D)J...
