Small Molecule Inhibitors of Activation-Induced Deaminase Decrease Class Switch Recombination in B Cells
7 May 2021
Abstract excerpt
Activation-induced deaminase (AID) not only mutates DNA within the immunoglobulin loci to generate antibody diversity, but it also promotes development of B cell lymphomas. To tame this mutagen, we performed a quantitative high-throughput screen of over 90 000 compounds to see if AID activity could be mitigated. The enzymatic activity was assessed in biochemical assays to detect cytosine deamination and in...
