Computer Simulation of Multi-Color Brainbow Staining and Clonal Evolution of B Cells in Germinal Centers

Clonal evolution of B cells in germinal centers (GCs) is central to affinity maturation of antibodies in response to pathogens. Permanent or tamoxifen-induced multi-color recombination of B cells based on the brainbow allele allows monitoring the degree of color dominance in the course of the GC rea...
