Abstract excerpt
To study the distribution of somatic mutations in the DNA flanking the 5' side of rearranged Ig V genes, the 5' region of 14 to 21 mutant forms of three different V(D)J were sequenced. These were compared with a fourth V(D)J for which the flanking sequences of 10 mutant forms are known. The leader intron of these four V genes varied from 82 to 365 nucleotides in length. Analysis of the data showed that: 1) The...
