Abstract
Søndergaard et al. demonstrate that ERG is a critical transcriptional regulator essential for B cell development. Loss of ERG leads to a marked reduction in V-to-DJ recombination at the Igh locus, precluding B cell progenitors from expressing the pre-B cell receptor, which is required for entering the final stages of B cell development.
