Abstract excerpt
The products of recombination-activating gene 1 (Rag1) and Rag2 are required for T cell receptor gene assembly and thymocyte maturation, yet their transcriptional control mechanisms remain unclear. A congenic strain (called 'ZORI' here) with defects in Rag1 and Rag2 expression, thymocyte maturation and peripheral T cell homeostasis has been developed. Here, we mapped the mutation in this strain to a chromosome 18...
