A unifying hypothesis for the molecular mechanism of somatic mutation and gene conversion in rearranged immunoglobulin variable genes.

Immunology and cell biology - 1 Jun 1998

Blanden R V, Steele E J

Abstract excerpt

We have reviewed available data concerning the mechanism of somatic hypermutation in rearranged variable genes of Ig in B lymphocytes of mice and the gene conversion process which generates diversity in these genes in the B lymphocytes of chickens. In our view, these data are consistent with a unifying hypothesis of diversity generating mechanisms involving reverse transcription to produce cDNA from RNA...
