Receptor Revision of Immunoglobulin Heavy Chain Variable Region Genes in Normal Human B Lymphocytes
30 May 2000
Abstract excerpt
Contrary to the general precepts of the clonal selection theory, several recent studies have provided evidence for the secondary rearrangement of immunoglobulin (Ig) genes in peripheral lymphoid tissues. These analyses typically used transgenic mouse models and have only detected secondary recombination of Ig light chain genes. Although Ig heavy chain variable region (V(H)) genes encode a substantial element of...
