Somatic recombination

Here is the problem:

http://www.bio.davidson.edu/courses/Immunology/Bio307.html#anchor24514174

Go there and click through to the "Molecular Movie" on "somatic recombination."

Run the animation.

The animation depicts the human lambda locus.....so there are some similarities and differences from the mouse heavy and light chain loci that we used during the live session.

In your response, compare and contrast the similarities and differences between the human lambda and murine kappa loci in terms of organization and mechanisms active in generating diversity.
