Abstract excerpt
Abs are vital to human immune responses and are composed of genetically variable H and L chains. These structures are initially expressed as BCRs. BCR diversity is shaped through somatic hypermutation and selection during immune responses. This evolutionary process produces B cell clones, cells that descend from a common ancestor but differ by mutations. Phylogenetic trees inferred from BCR sequences can...
