Abstract excerpt
Antibody diversification by somatic hypermutation occurs by the introduction of nucleotide substitutions in and around the rearranged Ig V gene segments. Several characteristics of the process suggest that the introduction of mutations is linked to Ig gene transcription. Since there is a connection between mutation and repair with indications that both processes might show linkage to transcription, we asked...
