Immunoglobulin Switch Recombination Definition
B-lymphocytes can selectively switch to express different immunoglobulin (Ig) isotypes during the course of an immune response. Selective expression of an Ig isotype is regulated by a sequence-specific rearrangement process that replaces the first active set of Ig heavy-chain (IgH) constant-region exons with one of several other downstream constant-region (CH) genes.
