Abstract excerpt
Immunoglobulin gene rearrangement in the chicken has evolved not to generate antibody diversity per se but to generate an immunoglobulin variable region which can be diversified by subsequent somatic gene conversion events. While the molecular mechanism of V(D)J recombination in chickens cannot be distinguished from that seen in other species, the way in which this recombination is regulated during chicken B...
