Abstract excerpt
Several genetic mechanisms have been shown to diversity the expressed antibody repertoire of committed B lymphocytes. These include somatic hypermutation, V gene replacement, and ongoing gene rearrangement. These mechanisms may be operational at discrete points in the B-cell differentiation pathway and may generate idiotypic diversity in various malignant B-cell tumors. Hypermutation of the Ig variable region has...
