How Do Recombinant Chromosomes Affect Tissue Function?
Recombinant chromosomes can lead to the production of novel proteins or alter the expression levels of existing proteins. In tissues, this can manifest as changes in cellular morphology, adhesion properties, and the ability to communicate with other cells. For example, in the immune system, recombinant chromosomes can create diverse antigen receptors on B and T cells, which are essential for recognizing a variety of pathogens.
