Allelic exclusion describes the expression of only one of the two variant forms of a gene in a heterozygous individual, or the restricted expression of antigen receptor chains by each individual lymphocyte.
La exclusión alélica se refiere a la expresión de solo una de las dos formas variantes de un gen en un individuo heterocigoto, o a la expresión restringida de cadenas del receptor de antígeno por cada linfocito individual.
