Reevaluation of 3'Ekappa function in stage- and lineage-specific rearrangement and somatic hypermutation.
Immunity - 1 Jun 1998
van der Stoep N, Gorman J R, Alt F W
Abstract excerpt
Transgenic studies have led to the conclusion that the 3'Ekappa enhancer functions to suppress kappa variable region gene assembly in T lineage cells and in progenitor B cells and have also implicated 3'Ekappa as a critical element in promoting somatic hypermutation of kappa variable region genes. To assess the role of the endogenous 3'Ekappa, we assayed these processes in mice homozygous for mutations in which...
