AID induces intraclonal diversity and genomic damage in CD86+ chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells
1 Sept 2014
Abstract excerpt
The activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) mediates somatic hypermutation and class switch recombination of the Ig genes by directly deaminating cytosines to uracils. As AID causes a substantial amount of off-target mutations, its activity has been associated with lymphomagenesis and clonal evolution of B-cell malignancies. Although it has been shown that AID is expressed in B-cell chronic lymphocytic...
