UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011995 Recombination, Genetic Production of new arrangements of DNA by various mechanisms such as assortment and segregation, CROSSING OVER; GENE CONVERSION; GENETIC TRANSFORMATION; GENETIC CONJUGATION; GENETIC TRANSDUCTION; or mixed infection of viruses. Genetic Recombination,Recombination,Genetic Recombinations,Recombinations,Recombinations, Genetic
D005803 Genes, Immunoglobulin Genes encoding the different subunits of the IMMUNOGLOBULINS, for example the IMMUNOGLOBULIN LIGHT CHAIN GENES and the IMMUNOGLOBULIN HEAVY CHAIN GENES. The heavy and light immunoglobulin genes are present as gene segments in the germline cells. The completed genes are created when the segments are shuffled and assembled (B-LYMPHOCYTE GENE REARRANGEMENT) during B-LYMPHOCYTE maturation. The gene segments of the human light and heavy chain germline genes are symbolized V (variable), J (joining) and C (constant). The heavy chain germline genes have an additional segment D (diversity).

D015322 Gene Rearrangement, B-Lymphocyte Ordered rearrangement of B-lymphocyte variable gene regions coding for the IMMUNOGLOBULIN CHAINS, thereby contributing to antibody diversity. It occurs during the differentiation of the IMMATURE B-LYMPHOCYTES.

D015329 Gene Rearrangement, T-Lymphocyte Ordered rearrangement of T-cell variable gene regions coding for the antigen receptors. Gene Rearrangement, T-Cell Antigen Receptor,T-Cell Gene Rearrangement,T-Lymphocyte Gene Rearrangement,Gene Rearrangement, T-Cell,Gene Rearrangement, T Cell,Gene Rearrangement, T Cell Antigen Receptor,Gene Rearrangement, T Lymphocyte,Gene Rearrangements, T-Cell,Gene Rearrangements, T-Lymphocyte,Rearrangement, T-Cell Gene,Rearrangement, T-Lymphocyte Gene,Rearrangements, T-Cell Gene,Rearrangements, T-Lymphocyte Gene,T Cell Gene Rearrangement,T Lymphocyte Gene Rearrangement,T-Cell Gene Rearrangements,T-Lymphocyte Gene Rearrangements
D045567 VDJ Recombinases Recombinases involved in the rearrangement of immunity-related GENES such as IMMUNOGLOBULIN GENES and T-CELL RECEPTOR GENES.

D019672 Genes, T-Cell Receptor DNA sequences, in cells of the T-lymphocyte lineage, that code for T-cell receptors. The TcR genes are formed by somatic rearrangement (see GENE REARRANGEMENT, T-LYMPHOCYTE and its children) of germline gene segments, and resemble Ig genes in their mechanisms of diversity generation and expression.
