Somatic Hypermutation Introduces Insertions and Deletions into Immunoglobulin V Genes

During a germinal center reaction, random mutations are introduced into immunoglobulin V genes to increase the affinity of antibody molecules and to further diversify the B cell repertoire. Antigen-directed selection of B cell clones that generate high affinity surface Ig results in the affinity mat...
