Abstract excerpt
We asked whether there are germ line immunoglobulin variable (V) segments that match sites of hypermutation in V regions encoding murine antibodies. Murine germ line DNA was probed with a panel of short deoxyoligonucleotides identical in sequence to segments of hypermutated V regions from hybridomas generated in the BALB/c response to the hapten 2-phenyloxazolone (Ox). Germ line sequences that match mutations in...
