Characterization of the Human Ig Heavy Chain Antigen Binding Complementarity Determining Region 3 Using a Newly Developed Software Algorithm, JOINSOLVER
1 Jun 2004
Abstract excerpt
We analyzed 77 nonproductive and 574 productive human V(H)DJ(H) rearrangements with a newly developed program, JOINSOLVER. In the productive repertoire, the H chain complementarity determining region 3 (CDR3(H)) was significantly shorter (46.7 +/- 0.5 nucleotides) than in the nonproductive repertoire (53.8 +/- 1.9 nucleotides) because of the tendency to select rearrangements with less TdT activity and shorter D...
