A. Transcription of RAG1 is regulated by a transcription activator only expressed in the thymus
B. The DNA sequence for RAG1 is only found in thymus
C. An enzyme that modifies histones at the RAG1 promoter is only found in the thymus
D. The transcripton factors that activates RAG1 is activated by a hormone only found in the thymus
E. The transcription factor that regulates RAG1 is sequestered in the cytoplasm in all cell types expcept the thymus
