Bidirectional promoters regulate the monoallelically expressed Ly49 NK receptors
Abstract
Members of the Ly49 gene family of natural killer (NK) cell receptors in mice are expressed in seemingly stochastic combinations such that each NK cell expresses a handful of family members. A transcriptional switch appears to establish this interesting pattern of expression.
