Abstract excerpt
Regulated gene rearrangement is thought to underlie allelic exclusion, the observation that an individual B cell expresses only a single immunoglobulin molecule. Previous data has implicated transcriptional activation of rearranging loci in the regulation of their accessibility to the V(D)J recombinase. Using homologous recombination in ES cells, we have generated "knockin" mice which express a GFP cDNA from an...
