Variable Region Identical Immunoglobulins Differing in Isotype Express Different Paratopes [PDF]
The finding that the antibody (Ab) constant (C) region can influence fine specificity suggests that isotype switching contributes to the generation of Ab diversity and idiotype restriction. Despite the centrality of this observation for diverse immunological effects such as vaccine responses, isotype-restricted antibody responses, and the origin of ...

GANP-mediated Recruitment of Activation-induced Cytidine Deaminase to Cell Nuclei and to Immunoglobulin Variable Region DNA* [PDF]
AID (activation-induced cytidine deaminase) catalyzes transcription-dependent deamination of C → U in immunoglobulin variable (IgV) regions to initiate somatic hypermutation (SHM) in germinal center B-cells.

Segmental duplication as one of the driving forces underlying the diversity of the human immunoglobulin heavy chain variable gene region [PDF]
Background Segmental duplication and deletion were implicated for a region containing the human immunoglobulin heavy chain variable (IGHV) gene segments, 1.9III/hv3005 (possible allelic variants of IGHV3-30) and hv3019b9 (a possible allelic variant of ...
