Activation of a translocated human c-myc gene by an enhancer in the immunoglobulin heavy-chain locus

A C Hayday et al. Nature. 1984.

Abstract

A tissue-specific transcriptional enhancer element that is associated with the human immunoglobulin heavy-chain locus is defined. In a non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that contains a translocated c-myc gene this enhancer is retained on the 14q+ chromosome and occurs within sequences shown to activate previously cryptic promoters of the c-myc gene.
