Abstract excerpt
Affinity maturation of the humoral immune response is caused by single base changes that are introduced into the V regions of the Ig genes during a brief period of B cell differentiation. It has recently become possible to study V region mutation in some human Burkitt's lymphoma cell lines that mutate their V regions and express surface markers that suggest they arose from the malignant transformation of germinal...
