A Multifunctional Element in the Mouse Igκ Locus That Specifies Repertoire and Ig Loci Subnuclear Location
26 Mar 2011
Abstract excerpt
Nonbiased V gene usage for V(D)J joining is essential for providing an optimal immune system, but no cis-acting sequence with this function has been uncovered. We previously identified a recombination silencer and heterochromatin targeting element in the Vκ-Jκ intervening sequence of germline Igκ transgenes, which we termed Sis. We now have generated Sis knockout mice in the endogenous locus. Intriguingly,...
