Abstract excerpt
The analysis of molecular signatures of antigen-driven affinity selection of B cells is of immense use in studies on normal and abnormal B cell development. Most of the published literature compares the expected and observed frequencies of replacement (R) and silent (S) mutations in the complementarity-determining regions (CDRs) and the framework regions (FRs) of antibody genes to identify the signature of...
