ATM Is Not Required in Somatic Hypermutation of VH, but Is Involved in the Introduction of Mutations in the Switch μ Region
1 Apr 2003
Abstract excerpt
Class switch recombination (CSR) and somatic hypermutation (SHM) are mechanistically related processes that share common key factors such as activation-induced cytidine deaminase. We have previously shown a role for ATM (mutated in ataxia-telangiectasia) in CSR. In this paper we show that the frequency, distribution, and nature of base pair substitutions in the Ig variable (V) heavy chain genes in...
