Abstract excerpt
The frequency and distribution of somatic hypermutation in immunoglobulin genes and the effect of amino acid substitution on the structure/function of antibodies were studied using hybridomas that secrete anti-(4-hydroxy-3-nitrophenyl)acetyl (NP) monoclonal antibodies bearing lambda 1 chains. A high frequency of mutation was observed in V-J exons and J-C introns of rearranged and active lambda 1 chains but not in...
