Abstract excerpt
VH replacement occurs through RAG-mediated recombination between the cryptic recombination signal sequence (cRSS) near the 3' end of a rearranged VH gene and the 23-bp RSS from an upstream unrearranged VH gene. Due to the location of the cRSS, VH replacement leaves a short stretch of nucleotides from the previously rearranged VH gene at the newly formed V-D junction, which can be used as a marker to identify VH...
