Bcl6 Is Required for Somatic Hypermutation and Gene Conversion in Chicken DT40 Cells.

The activation induced cytosine deaminase (AID) mediates diversification of B cell immunoglobulin genes by the three distinct yet related processes of somatic hypermutation (SHM), class switch recombination (CSR), and gene conversion (GCV). SHM occurs in germinal center B cells, and the transcriptio...
