Abstract excerpt
Available data relevant to the mechanism of somatic hypermutation have been critically evaluated in the context of alternative models: (i) error-generating reverse transcription (RT) followed by homologous recombination; and (ii) error-prone DNA replication/repair. A set of basic principles concerning somatic hypermutation has also been formulated and a revised and expanded "RT-Mutatorsome" concept (analogous to...
