Abstract excerpt
Affinity maturation is a process that leads to the emergence of more efficient antibodies following initial antigen encounter and represents a key strategy of the adaptive immunity of vertebrate organisms. Earlier and detailed sequence studies of the antibody response to a model antigen, the hapten 2-phenyl-5-oxazolone (phOx), define three different classes of antibodies. Class I antibodies use the...
