Abstract excerpt
In B cells, somatic hypermutation (SHM) and class switch recombination (CSR) depend on the activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) gene product, although the precise mode of action of AID remains unknown. Because some chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) B cells can undergo CSR without SHM, it constitutes a useful model to dissect AID function. In this work, we have studied AID expression, the presence of...
