Abstract excerpt
Gene conversion has been found to be important in the diversification of antibody genes in chickens and in rabbits. In other species, however, it is not clear whether gene conversion plays any role in antibody diversity. Analysis of an H-chain antibody gene construct that was designed to optimize the detection of gene conversion events in transgenic mice has shown that sequence transfers that resemble gene...
