Abstract excerpt
Combination of anti-CD40 antibody and interleukin-4 (IL-4) induces B cell clonal expansion reminiscent of the T-dependent proliferation following antigenic challenge in vivo. We have analyzed the usage of CH genes and the presence or absence of somatic mutations within the progeny of a single hum...
