Abstract excerpt
Adaptive immunity is intimately linked to the expression of antigen-specific immunoglobulin and T cell receptor genes and their recombination assembly from germline V, D and J gene segments. This developmentally regulated process relies on the activity of the Rag1-Rag2 recombinase, on accessibility of target gene segments and on monoallelic gene activation. Recent studies have revealed new mechanisms that, along...
