Abstrakt: Presents research which showed the inactivation of the ligase IV gene in mice resulting in late embryonic lethality. Common factors in DNA-end-joining reactions and V(D)J recombination; Role of ligase IV; Blocked lymphopoiesis in such mice; Traits of ligase IV-deficient embryonic fibroblasts; Comparison of mice with those having Ku70 and Ku80 deficiencies; Viability of Ku-deficient mice.
