Abstract excerpt
Allelic exclusion of immunoglobulin (Ig) and T-cell receptor (TCR) genes ensures the development of B and T lymphocytes operating under the mode of clonal selection. This phenomenon associates asynchronous V(D)J recombination events at Ig or TCR alleles and inhibitory feedback control. Despite years of intense research, however, the mechanisms that sustain asymmetric choice in random Ig/TCR dual allele usage and...
