Abstract excerpt
Feedback inhibition of V(D)J recombination enforces Ag receptor allelic exclusion in mammalian lymphocytes. Yet, in-frame VbetaDJbeta exons can assemble on both alleles in human and mouse alphabeta T lineage cells. To elucidate mechanisms that enforce TCRbeta allelic exclusion in such cells, we analyzed Vbeta expression and rearrangement in mice containing a functional Vbeta14DJbeta1.5Cbeta1 gene (Vbeta14(NT))...
