Multi Step Selection in Ig H Chains is Initially Focused on CDR3 and Then on Other CDR Regions
1 Jan 2013
Abstract excerpt
AFFINITY MATURATION OCCURS THROUGH TWO SELECTION PROCESSES: the choice of appropriate clones (clonal selection), and the internal evolution within clones, induced by somatic hyper-mutations, where high affinity mutants are selected for. When a final population of immunoglobulin sequences is observed, the genetic composition of this population is affected by a combination of these two processes. Different immune...
