Accumulation of VH Replacement Products in IgH Genes Derived from Autoimmune Diseases and Anti-viral Responses in Human

VH replacement refers to RAG-mediated secondary recombination of the IgH genes, which renews almost the entire VH gene coding region but retains a short stretch of nucleotides as a VH replacement footprint at the newly generated VH-DH junction. To explore the biological significance of VH replacemen...
