Insights into the Structural Basis of Antibody Affinity Maturation from Next-Generation Sequencing

Affinity maturation is the process whereby the immune system generates antibodies of higher affinities during a response to antigen. It is unique in being the only evolutionary mechanism known to operate on a molecule in an organism’s own body. Deciphering the structural mechanisms through which som...
