Abstract excerpt
Efficient and correct recombination of V(D)J substrates results in the generation of antibodies. The RSS substrates are oriented in two directions with respect to each other: deletional and inversional. Deletional recombination results in the formation of the coding joint and excision of the intervening sequences. Inversional recombination retains all the genomic sequences and forms both a coding joint and a...
