High-throughput immunoglobulin repertoire analysis distinguishes between human IgM memory and switched memory B-cell populations
11 May 2010
Abstract excerpt
B-cell receptor (BCR) diversity is achieved centrally by rearrangement of Variable, Diversity, and Joining genes, and peripherally by somatic hypermutation and class-switching of the rearranged genes. Peripheral B-cell populations are subject to both negative and positive selection events in the course of their development that have the potential to shape the BCR repertoire. The origin of IgM(+)IgD(+)CD27(+) (IgM...
