Abstract
Early in their development B lymphocytes commit themselves to the expression of only one immunoglobulin light-chain gene and only one heavy-chain gene out of the large numbers of available loci. Here I shall present the view that the initial selection of loci for expression is made by chance, whereas the exclusion of other loci from expression is a necessity imposed by the physiology of lymphocyte development.Mesh:
