Allelic inclusion in the pre-B-cell line 18-81

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 1984 Feb;81(3):867-70. doi: 10.1073/pnas.81.3.867.

Abstract

In an Abelson-virus-transformed mouse lymphoid cell line with pre-B-cell characteristics, a few cells continuously produce heavy chains from both homologs. Each chain has a different variable region. These cells thereby exhibit allelic inclusion rather than allelic exclusion.
