Abstract excerpt
Transcriptional competence of the immunoglobulin heavy-chain locus (IgH) is established at an early stage of lymphoid cell development, leading to the appearance of RNA components, previously called C mu RNA1 or sterile-mu RNA2, which contain constant-region sequences but lack variable-region sequences. These components are of two types: those which initiate in the D region of alleles that have undergone DJH...
