Journal ArticleDOI

Mammalian DNA nucleotide excision repair reconstituted with purified protein components.

TL;DR: Nucleotide excision repair is the principal way by which human cells remove UV damage from DNA by combining DNA polymerase epsilon, RFC, PCNA, and DNA ligase I with ERCC1- and XPF-correcting activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chronic lymphocytic leukemias utilizing the VH3-21 gene display highly restricted Vλ2-14 gene use and homologous CDR3s: implicating recognition of a common antigen epitope

TL;DR: These new findings strengthen the suggestion that VH3-21-using cases comprise a new CLL entity, irrespective of VH gene mutation status, and implicate that a common antigen epitope, perhaps of pathogenic significance, is recognized by the highly homologous VH 3-21/Vlambda2-14 Ig molecules expressed in individual tumors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Subsets with restricted immunoglobulin gene rearrangement features indicate a role for antigen selection in the development of chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

TL;DR: Structurally similarHCDR3s associated with preferential V(L) gene usage implies selection of BCRs, especially in subsets showing high HCDR3 similarities, thus pointing to restricted antigen recognition sites and possibly involvement of specific antigens in CLL development.
