Representation of rearranged VH gene segments in the human adult antibody repertoire.

Abstract excerpt

The heavy chain variable region composition of the human adult Ab repertoire is poorly defined, but recent evidence suggests that peripheral blood B cells may express a nonstochastic assortment of VH genes. In this study, the contribution of individual VH gene segments to the human Ab repertoire has been assessed. As a measure of VH gene utilization, the frequency of occurrence of eight individual VH3 gene...
