Abstract excerpt
Ab heavy chains encoded by mouse VH10 genes have been of particular interest due to their frequent association with DNA binding. We reported previously that VH10 sequences are over-represented in the preimmune repertoire considering the apparent number of germline-encoded VH10 gene segments. In t...
