Abstract excerpt
Intoduction: Two scaffold/matrix attachment regions (5'- and 3'-MARsEµ ) flank the intronic core enhancer (cEµ) within the immunoglobulin heavy chain locus (IgH). Besides their conservation in mice and humans, the physiological role of MARsEµ is still unclear and their involvement in somatic hypermutation (SHM) has never been deeply evaluated. Methods: Our study analyzed SHM and its transcriptional control in a...
