摘要: We describe a model system for class switch recombination (CSR) using CH12F3-2 cells transfected with DNA construct containing two S sequences transcribed by different promoters and separated viral thymidine kinase (TK) gene. Recombination observed this shares key properties physiological CSR: deletion of between regions, requirement cytokine stimulation, nonhomologous no consensus breakpoint sequences. Studies on transfectants variants led us to the following conclusions: (1) are required CSR; (2) isotype specificity is not determined nucleotide regions; (3) strand-specific; (4) induction activity requires stimulation.
