Abstract excerpt
Features of antibody genes and their regulation hinder two properties thought to be critical for clonal selection: haplotype exclusion and receptor diversity. These properties include: (1) the retention of multiple independent L-chain isotypes, which compounds the problem of allelic exclusion with one of isotype exclusion; (2) the process of receptor editing, in which recombination continues in cells already...
