Contents 1 Introduction 2 Section 1 Mechanism 3 Section 2 Regulation 4 Conclusion 5 References Introduction Deamination is a proposed mechanism of somatic hypermutation(SHM) which results in mutations within the Immunoglobulin variable region(IgV) gene. These mutations code for a varying expression of the IgV gene resulting in an antibody with either a higher or lower binding affinity. Afterwards higher binding affinity is selected for during affinity maturation, where B cells compete for survival based on their ability to bind to antigen presenting complexes. Deamination is
