Abstract excerpt
While most murine peripheral B cells express germline-encoded antibodies of classes M and D (mu+ delta+ cells), small numbers of memory B cells expressing somatically mutated immunoglobulin G antibodies are generated upon T cell-dependent immunization. Analyzing the antibody repertoire of the mu-delta- B cell pool in unimmunized mice, we show that these cells express somatically mutated VH genes and that most of...
