Insel R A, Varade W S
Abstract excerpt
Translationally silent mutations, which are not antigen selected, of human VH6 Ig gene rearrangements isolated from human spleen were analyzed for bias to gain insight into intrinsic features of the mutation process. Sixty-three clones representing 38 VH6DJ rearrangements had an overall mutation frequency of 4.5%, a replacement/silent (R/S) mutation ratio of 2.1 and 167 unique silent mutations. The silent...
