Here we show that specific ablation of YY1 in mouse B cells caused a defect in somatic rearrangement in the immunoglobulin heavy-chain (IgH) locus and a block in the progenitor-B-to-precursor-B-cell transition, which was partially rescued by a prerearranged IgH transgene. Three-dimensional DNA fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis revealed an important function for YY1 TI - Yin Yang 1 is a critical regulator of B-cell development JF - Genes & Development DO - 10.1101/gad.1529307 DA - 2007-05-15 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/unpaywall/yin-yang-1-is-a-critical-regulator-of-b-cell-development-9i07tZfDzQ DP - DeepDyve ER -
