Abstract excerpt
Somatic mutation occurs frequently in rearranged and expressed immunoglobulin variable region genes in vivo. In contrast, V region hypermutation seldom occurs in antibody-forming cells in culture. The S107 mouse myeloma cell line is one of the few cell lines that has been observed to generate V region mutations frequently and spontaneously in vitro. Detailed examination reveals that both the S107 tumor and the...
