Repertoire-wide phylogenetic models of B cell molecular evolution reveal evolutionary signatures of aging and vaccination
2019-02-24
Abstract excerpt
In order to produce effective antibodies, B cells undergo rapid somatic hypermutation (SHM) and selection for binding affinity to antigen via a process called affinity maturation. The similarities between this process and evolution by natural selection have led many groups to use evolutionary and phylogenetic methods to characterize the development of immunological memory, vaccination, and other processes that dep...
