The Fanconi Anemia Core Complex Is Dispensable during Somatic Hypermutation and Class Switch Recombination

To generate high affinity antibodies during an immune response, B cells undergo somatic hypermutation (SHM) of their immunoglobulin genes. Error-prone translesion synthesis (TLS) DNA polymerases have been reported to be responsible for all mutations at template A/T and at least a fraction of G/C tra...
