The Usage of Human IGHJ Genes Follows a Particular Non-random Selection: The Recombination Signal Sequence May Affect the Usage of Human IGHJ Genes

The formation of the B cell receptor (BCR) heavy chain variable region is derived from the germline V(D)J gene rearrangement according to the “12/23” rule and the “beyond 12/23” rule. The usage frequency of each V(D)J gene in the peripheral BCR repertoires is related to the initial recombination, se...
