Figure 3. Products of V(D)J recombination.

Figure 3

Inversional and deletional recombination are shown in the top portion of the figure. Whether recombination proceeds in a deletional or inversional manner is specified by the relative orientation of the two RSS. Hybrid joint formation is shown at the bottom of the figure, and involves an inappropriate joining of a coding end to a signal end. The reciprocal hybrid joint product, in this case an excised circle, is not shown.
