Abstract excerpt
Murine B cells proliferating in the germinal centers of peripheral lymphoid tissue accumulate mutations in their rearranged variable regions, a diversification process which contributes to affinity maturation of the antibody response. The highly targeted nature of the hypermutation process could be explained by a somatic gene conversion mechanism. Well characterized examples of such an activity in B cells are...
