Reciprocal homologous recombination in or near antibody VDJ genes.

Abstract excerpt

To determine if rearranged heavy chain variable (VDJ) genes can recombine with each other by crossing over of DNA strands, we constructed a transgene that contained a promoter, VDJ gene, reporter gene to detect crossover events, intron enhancer, matrix attachment region, and constant gene for IgM...
