摘要
Rearrangement of antigen receptors in the immune system is mediated through the action of complex enhancers which function in both a developmentally stage-specific and a cell-type-specific manner to demethylate DNA, open chromatin structure and tether the recombination machinery to one preferred allele at each locus.
