Journal ArticleDOI

Human blood IgM “memory” B cells are circulating splenic marginal zone B cells harboring a prediversified immunoglobulin repertoire

TL;DR: It is proposed that these IgM(+)IgD(+)CD27(+) B cells provide the splenic marginal zone with a diversified and protective preimmune repertoire in charge of the responses against encapsulated bacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI

Competitive repair pathways in immunoglobulin gene hypermutation

TL;DR: The proposition that the UNG uracil glycosylase and the MSH2–MSH6 mismatch recognition complex are two competitive rather than alternative pathways in the processing of uracils generated by AID is further discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

A splenic IgM memory subset with antibacterial specificities is sustained from persistent mucosal responses.

TL;DR: It is described here, based on an inducible AID fate-mapping mouse model, that systemic memory B cell subsets, including mainly IgM+ B cells inSpleen, together with IgA+ plasma cells in spleen and bone marrow, are generated in mice in the absence of deliberate immunization.
Book ChapterDOI

Ig gene hypermutation: a mechanism is due.

TL;DR: This chapter reviews the possible participation of some mismatch repair (MMR) components, the mammalian MutS-homologs, the role of Ig gene transcription in the targeting of the process, the occurrence of DNA breaks as specific priming events, the involvement of an error-prone DNA polymerase and the emergence of several new candidate enzymes, and a new partner.
