Abstract excerpt
The subnuclear location and chromatin state of the immunoglobulin heavy-chain (IgH) locus have been implicated in the control of VDJ recombination. VH-to-DJH rearrangement of distal, but not proximal V(H) genes, furthermore, depends on the B-lineage commitment factor Pax5 (BSAP). He e we demonstrate that ectopic Pax5 expression from the Ikaros promote induces proximal rather than distal VH-DJH rearrangements in...
