Abstract excerpt
The generation of a productive "in-frame" T cell receptor beta (TCR beta), immunoglobulin (Ig) heavy (H) or Ig light (L) chain variable region gene can result in the cessation of rearrangement of the alternate allele, a process referred to as allelic exclusion. This process ensures that most alphabeta T cells express a single TCR beta chain and most B cells express single IgH and IgL chains. Assembly of TCR alpha...
