Abstract excerpt
Activation-induced DNA cytidine deaminase (AID) is required for somatic hypermutation (SHM) and efficient class switch recombination (CSR) of immunoglobulin (Ig) genes. We created AID-transgenic mice that express AID ubiquitously under the control of a beta-actin promoter. When crossed with AID-/- mice, the AID-transgenic,AID-/- mice carried out SHM and CSR, showing that the AID transgenes were functional....
