Abstract excerpt
Transcriptional activation of rearranging Ag receptor gene segments has been hypothesized to regulate their accessibility to V(D)J recombination. We analyzed the role of a functional promoter in the rearrangement of the murine TCR beta-chain locus using two transgenic minilocus constructs. These miniloci each contain an unrearranged V beta 8.3 gene. One has a wild-type V beta 8.3 gene, but the other has a V beta...
