MECHANISM AND CONTROL OF V(D)J RECOMBINATION AT THE IMMUNOGLOBULIN HEAVY CHAIN LOCUS
16 Jan 2006
Abstract excerpt
V(D)J recombination assembles antigen receptor variable region genes from component germline variable (V), diversity (D), and joining (J) gene segments. For B cells, such rearrangements lead to the production of immunoglobulin (Ig) proteins composed of heavy and light chains. V(D)J is tightly controlled at the Ig heavy chain locus (IgH) at several different levels, including cell-type specificity, intra- and...
