Abstract excerpt
Deletion of the TCRbeta transcriptional enhancer (Ebeta) results in nearly complete inhibition of V(D)J recombination at the TCRbeta locus and a block in alpha beta T cell development. This result, along with previous work from many laboratories, has led to the hypothesis that transcriptional enh...
