Autoantibodies to DNA and chromatin employ junctional diversity and somatic mutations to generate or enhance antigen recognition. To define the role of diversity generating mechanisms in the etiology of autoantibodies to nuclear antigens, the heavy (H) chain of a murine autoantibody, 3H9, was used i
To determine the contribution of the somatic point mutations and that of the complementarity-determining region (CDR)3 Arg to DNA binding, we engineered the germline V H and V βΉ gene revertant and site-mutagenized the CDR3 Arg residues of the mutated and "antigen-selected" mAb 412.67. This anti-DNA
During the initial stages of B lymphocyte differentiation heavy chain variable (VH), diversity (DH) and joining (JH) gene segments recombine to form a functional heavy chain variable region (VDJ) gene. Evidence for genetic polymorphism of the human JH gene segments has been obtained from mature rear
