Abstract excerpt
The intronic Emicro enhancer has been implicated in IgH locus transcription, VDJ recombination, class switch recombination, and somatic hypermutation. How Emicro controls these diverse mechanisms is still largely unclear, but transcriptional enhancer activity is thought to play a central role. In this study we compare the phenotype of mice lacking the Emicro element (DeltaEmicro) with that of mice in which Emu...
