Discriminating intrinsic and antigen-selected mutational hotspots in immunoglobulin V genes.

Immunology today - 1 Aug 1993

Betz A G, Neuberger M S, Milstein C

Abstract excerpt

Studies of the antibody hypermutation mechanism have revealed that it is not a random process but exhibits characteristic nucleotide substitution preferences. Here, Alexander Betz and colleagues show that these innate nucleotide substitution preferences can be used to examine databases of antigen...
