Abstract excerpt
To investigate the role of promoters in regulating variable gene rearrangement and allelic exclusion, we constructed mutant mice in which a 1.2-kb region of the V beta 13 promoter was either deleted (P13(-/-)) or replaced with the simian virus 40 minimal promoter plus five copies of Gal4 DNA sequences (P13(R/R)). In P13(-/-) mice, cleavage, rearrangement, and transcription of V beta 13, but not the flanking V...
