Abstract excerpt
We investigated gene rearrangements in the mutant IgH locus of a mouse strain generated by insertion of a rearranged heavy chain variable region gene (VT15) into the DQ52-JH region through gene targeting. In more than half of the B cells of heterozygous mutant mice, the mutant IgH locus was silenced by the rearrangement of an endogenous DH or DH and VH gene to the inserted VT15 gene. In these cases, a functional...
