IGHV sequencing reveals acquired N-glycosylation sites as a clonal and stable event during follicular lymphoma evolution
14 Jan 2020
Abstract excerpt
Follicular lymphoma B cells undergo continuous somatic hypermutation (SHM) of their immunoglobulin variable region genes, generating a heterogeneous tumor population. SHM introduces DNA sequences encoding N-glycosylation sites asparagine-X-serine/threonine (N-gly sites) within the V-region that are rarely found in normal B-cell counterparts. Unique attached oligomannoses activate B-cell receptor signaling...
