title: Identification of an octamer-binding site in the human kappa light-chain enhancer.
abstract: Octamer motifs contribute to the function and tissue specificity of immunoglobulin heavy- and light-chain gene promoters and the heavy-chain enhancer. A variant octamer-binding site within a conserved region of the human kappa light-chain gene enhancer which contributes to the function of this enhancer has been identified.
