Abstract excerpt
Separate genetic elements (V, D, and J) encode the variable regions of lymphocyte antigen receptors. During early lymphocyte differentiation, these elements rearrange to form contiguous coding segments (VJ and VDJ) for a diverse array of variable regions. Rearrangement is mediated by a recombinase that recognizes short DNA sequences (signals) flanking V, D, and J elements. Signals flank both the 5' and 3' sides...
