Transcriptional Enhancer Elements in the Mouse Immunoglobulin Heavy Chain Locus

Mercola, Mark, Wang, Xiao-Fan, Olsen, Jory, Calame, Kathryn·1983·Science

Abstract

Two regions in the immunoglobulin heavy chain locus were tested for their ability to enhance transcription of the SV40 early promoter. A portion of the intervening sequence between the heavy chain joining region (J h ) and the constant region of the μ chain (Cμ) can enhance transcription when it is cloned either 5′ or 3′ to the SV40 early promoter. The region between Cα and the alpha switch site, which occurs 5′ to the translocated c-myc oncogene in many murine plasmacytomas, does not show transcriptional enhancer activity in this assay.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
