Analysis of Ig H chain gene segment utilization in human fetal liver. Revisiting the "proximal utilization hypothesis".
1 Oct 1993
Abstract excerpt
The utilization of Ig H chain gene segments during ontogeny is postulated to result from an immature recombination machinery that preferentially rearranges genes according to chromosomal position. We have tested the "proximal utilization hypothesis" using the two functional members of the VH5 family as a model. Nucleotide sequence analyses of transcripts involving these VH gene segments in 11- to 12-wk fetal...
