After Ag exposure, somatic hypermutation and subsequent selection play significant roles in shaping the peripheral B cell repertoire. However, the disparate impact of each process has not been completely delineated. To address this, the mutational patterns of a large panel of productive V(H)DJ(H) rearrangements of individual human B cells were analyzed and compared with those of a previously reported panel of...
