Transcriptional stalling in B-lymphocytes: A mechanism for antibody diversification and maintenance of genomic integrity

B cells utilize three DNA alteration strategies—V(D)J recombination, somatic hypermutation (SHM) and class switch recombination (CSR)—to somatically mutate their genome, thereby expressing a plethora of antibodies tailor-made against the innumerable antigens they encounter while in circulation. Of t...
