Entry of B lymphocytes into the persistent cell pool in non-immunized mice is not accompanied by somatic mutation of VH genes.

Abstract excerpt

In this study we compare VH-gene repertoires of short-lived and persistent B lymphocytes in normal nonimmunized mice. Enriched populations of persistent peripheral B cells were obtained in vivo either by (i) repeated injections with hydroxyurea or (ii) maintained ganciclovir administration to herpes simplex virus-1 thymidine kinase transgenic mice. Both approaches have previously been shown to deplete newly...
