Abstract excerpt
Somatic hypermutation and selection of immunoglobulin (Ig) variable (V)-region genes, working in concert, appear to be essential for memory B-cell development in mammals. There has been substantial progress on the nature of the cis-acting DNA elements that regulate hypermutation. The data obtained suggest that the mechanisms of Ig gene hypermutation and transcription are intimately intertwined. While it has long...
