Abstract excerpt
Burkitt lymphoma (BL) features translocations linking c-myc to an Ig locus. Breakpoints in the H chain locus (IgH) stand either close to J(H) or within switch regions and always link c-myc to the 3' IgH locus control region (3' LCR). To test the hypothesis that the 3' LCR alone was sufficient to deregulate c-myc, we generated mice carrying a 3' LCR-driven c-myc transgene and specifically up-regulating c-myc in B...
