Abstract excerpt
Assembly of Ig genes in B lineage cells involves two distinct DNA rearrangements. In early B cell development, site-specific double strand breaks (DSBs) at germ-line V, D, and J gene segments are joined via nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ) to form variable region exons. Activated mature B cells c...
