Abstract excerpt
Analysis of the V(H)DJ(H) repertoire of peripheral blood IgM(+) B cells from a patient with X-linked hyper-IgM syndrome (X-HIgM) was undertaken to determine whether the distribution of V(H) families in the productive repertoire might be regulated by in vivo CD40-CD154 interactions. The distribution of V(H) genes in the non-productive repertoire of IgM(+) B cells was comparable in X-HIgM and normals. Unlike the...
