摘要: Mutations arising in Ig V genes during an immune response are most likely introduced by one or several error-prone DNA polymerases. Many of the recently described nonreplicative polymerases have intrinsic fidelity compatible with such activity, strongest candidates being polymerase (pol) eta, pol iota, zeta, and mu. We report this work that mice inactivated for either two related to beta (i.e., mu lambda) viable fertile display a normal hypermutation pattern.
