## Abstract ## Objective To understand in detail the mechanisms of autoantibody production in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), we performed a comprehensive analysis of the normal human immunoglobulin light chain V~λ~ repertoire and compared it with the V~λ~ repertoire in SLE patie
The immune system can generate an almost infinite number of direrent antibody specificities, the s u m of which is the antibody repertoire. This article con- siders aspects of the mechanism and control of immunoglobulin variable ( V ) region gene assembly with a focus on how these factors may afect
