Abstract excerpt
DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are essential intermediates in Ig gene rearrangements: V(D)J and class switch recombination (CSR). In contrast to V(D)J recombination, which is almost exclusively dependent on nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ), CSR can occur in NHEJ-deficient cells via a poorly understand backup pathway (or pathways) often termed alternative end joining (A-EJ). Recently, several components of the...
