A Systematic Search Into The Role Of IGHV Gene Replacement In Shaping The Immunoglobulin Repertoire Of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
2013-11-15
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Immunoglobulin heavy variable (IGHV) gene replacement is a RAG-mediated recombination event that modifies a rearranged IGHV-IGHD-IGHJ sequence by replacing the original IGHV with another IGHV. As the excision of the original IGHV occurs at a cryptic heptamer near the end of FR3 of the original IGHV, a trace (“footprint”) remains embedded in the V-D (“N1”) junction of the heavy complementarity-determining...
