Mouse kappa light-chain recombination signal sequences mediate recombination more frequently than do those of lambda light chain.
1 Dec 1991
Abstract excerpt
Immunoglobulin and T-cell receptor genes are somatically rearranged by site-specific recombination. Recombination signal sequences (RSS) have been identified as the major targeting element of this process. Recent reports demonstrate that differences in RSS affect the frequency of recombination, suggesting a role for RSS in the development of the B-cell repertoire. Examination of mouse light-chain RSS indicates...
