Abstract excerpt
The young rabbit appendix is a dynamic site for primary B cell repertoire development. To study diversification patterns during clonal expansion, we collected single appendix B cells from 3- to 9-wk-old rabbits and sequenced rearranged H and L chain genes. Single cells obtained by hydraulic micromanipulation or laser capture microdissection were lysed, PCR amplified, and products directly sequenced. Gene...
