Given their essential role in adaptive immunity, antigen receptor loci have been
the focus of analysis for many years and are among a handful of the most
well-studied genes in the genome. Their investigation led initially to a detailed
knowledge of linear structure and characterization of regulatory elements that
confer control of their rearrangement and expression. However, advances in DNA
FISH and imaging combined with new molecular approaches that interrogate
chromosome conformation have led to a growing appreciation that linear structure
is only one aspect of gene regulation and in more recent years, the focus has
switched to analyzing the impact of locus conformation and nuclear organization
on control of recombination. Despite decades of work and intense effort from
numerous labs, we are still left with an incomplete picture of how the assembly
of antigen receptor loci is regulated. This chapter summarizes our advances to
date and points to areas that need further investigation.
