Abstract excerpt
During T-cell development, site-specific DNA rearrangements mediating assembly of beta- and alpha-chain genes of the T-cell receptor (TCR) are developmentally ordered. In particular, assembly and expression of a complete beta-chain gene blocks further rearrangements at the beta-locus (a process referred to as allelic exclusion) and drives the generation and expansion of CD4+8+ cells. Although the mechanism used...
