Generating and repairing genetically programmed DNA breaks during immunoglobulin class switch recombination [version 1; referees: 2 approved]
Adaptive immune responses require the generation of a diverse repertoire of immunoglobulins (Igs) that can recognize and neutralize a seemingly infinite number of antigens. V(D)J recombination creates the primary Ig repertoire, which subsequently is modified by somatic hypermutation (SHM) and class...
