Somatic mutation in the neonatal mouse.

Abstract excerpt

Several mechanisms that diversify the adult immune repertoire, such as terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-dependent N region addition, are not available to the neonatal mouse. One important process that contributes to protective immunity in the adult is somatic mutation, which plays a major role in the generation of high affinity memory B cells. It is not clear whether B cells in the neonatal mouse can...
