Abstract excerpt
Nucleotide sequence analysis of cDNA encoded by the single member of the human immunoglobulin VH6 gene family show that blood B cells in adults, but not in neonates, frequently express somatically mutated IgM molecules. The number of mutations in VH6-encoded cDNA from adult blood ranged from 2 to...
