Abstract excerpt
Allelic exclusion of the murine Tcrb locus is imposed at the level of recombination and restricts each cell to produce one functional VDJbeta rearrangement. Allelic exclusion is achieved through asynchronous Vbeta to DJbeta recombination as well as feedback inhibition that terminates recombination once a functional rearrangement has occurred. Because the accessibility of Vbeta gene segment chromatin is diminished...
