Abstract excerpt
After gene rearrangement, immunoglobulin V genes are further diversified by either somatic hypermutation or gene conversion. Hypermutation (in man and mouse) occurs by the fixation of individual, non-templated nucleotide substitutions. Gene conversion (in chicken) is templated by a set of upstrea...
