A. Schematic of the rearranged and unrearrranged Igλ loci in the chicken B cell lymphoma line, DT40. Shown are promoter (P), leader (L), variable (V), joining (J) and constant (Cλ) regions; the putative matrix attachment region (M) in the J-C intron; the 3’-enhancer (E-3’); and the most proximal (ψV1) and distal (ψV25) of the upstream nonfunctional pseudo-variable regions which are templates for gene conversion. The rearranged and unrearranged alleles can readily be distinguished by PCR, using primers indicated by arrows.
B. ChIP analysis of E2A enrichment at the rearranged λR and unrearranged λU loci in DT40 cells, relative to ovalbumin gene control amplicon (Ova). Fold enrichment is shown below. NTC, no template control.
