Abstract excerpt
Somatic point mutations provide glimpses into B-cell histories, and mutation numbers generally correlate with antibody affinity. We recently proposed a model of human isotype function, based in part on mutation analysis, in which the dominant pathway of isotype switching involves B cells moving s...
