Abstract excerpt
Certain Ig VH gene segments, with few or no mutations, recur frequently in natural autoantibodies, fetal antibodies, and products of B cell tumors. The goal of this study was to determine whether similar Ig gene segment usage occurs in normal human adult PBL. Extending previous analyses, 105 rand...
