Abstract excerpt
Investigations of normal and neoplastic B cells are being channelled into new directions by recent work on immunoglobulin variable region genes. Assembling of heavy and light chain genes introduces enormous heterogeneity into the third complementarity determining regions (CDR3s) of immunoglobulins. For reasons that will become apparent below, variation in CDR3s is especially broad in heavy chains. Moreover,...
