Irradiation-Mediated Rescue of T Cell–Specific V(D)j Recombination and Thymocyte Differentiation in Severe Combined Immunodeficient Mice by Bone Marrow Cells
In SCID (severe combined immunodeficient) mice, proper assembly of immunoglobulin and T cell receptor (TCR) genes is blocked by defective V(D)J recombination so that B and T lymphocyte differentiation is arrested at an early precursor stage. Treating the mice with gamma irradiation rescues V(D)J rea...
