Abstract excerpt
Four monoclonal antibodies (mAb) derived from an (NZB x NZW)F1 mouse bound to nucleosomes, total histones and to the H2A-H2B dimers but not to individual histones or DNA. Sequencing of their heavy (H)- and light (L)-chain variable region genes showed that they derived by somatic mutations from the same B cell precursor. The distribution of negatively and positively charged amino acids in the H-chain...
