R2IGH: Immunoglobulin Gene Rearrangement and Repair in Healthy Donors
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
B-cells ensure humoral immune response against antigens (Ag) thanks to their receptor (BCR). V(D)J rearrangement, somatic hypermutation, immunoglobulin (Ig) class switch and locus suicide recombination are mutational/recombinational processes targeting Ig loci influencing BCR expression. Study of these events is essential for B cell function analysis. Our project will provide the normal reference values using high throughput sequencing-based protocols.
