Abstract excerpt
Rearrangement of the separated V, D and J segments of immunoglobulin heavy and light chain genes is an ordered and regulated process essential for the production and diversification of antibodies in mammals.

The second allele is either non-functionally or incompletely rearranged, a phenomenon known as...
