Annual review of immunology - 1 Jan 1994

Abstract excerpt
The primary structure of anti-DNA antibodies is highly diverse, a result of different germline variable (V) gene use, different combinations of immunoglobulin gene segments, peculiar heavy chain complementarity determining region 3 (H-CDR3) segments, and somatic mutations. Nevertheless, tertiary structure predictions reveal common features that yield information about likely contact sites in the anti-DNA...
