RESUMO

A region upstream of the murine major histocompatibility complex gene, E alpha d, has been shown previously to be required for B-cell expression. Binding of the B-cell-specific factor, NF-kappa B, to a site within this region is indistinguishable from that observed with the kappa enhancer binding site. NF-kappa B may be responsible for E alpha d B-cell expression.
