Abstract excerpt
Immunoglobulin (Ig) gene conversion and hypermutation rates can be quantified by FACS. The spontaneous DT40 variant, C118, and C118-derived DT40 mutants can be used to analyze gene conversion phenotype. The C118 has a frameshift in its rearranged V segment. When this frameshift mutation is repaired by pseudogene-templated gene conversion, sIgM(-) DT40 reverts to sIgM (+) (Ig reversion assay). The sIgM (+)...
