Abstract excerpt
It has been found that most immunoglobulin heavy(H)-chain gene diversity (D) segments carry their own 5' transcriptional promoter element. Transcription of rearrangements which use heavy-chain D and joining (J) segments in B-lymphoid cells ultimately leads to the production of a Dmu messenger RNA...
