RESUMO
We have established B cell culture systems in which transfected and stably integrated Ig constructs spontaneously undergo high rates of variable (V) region mutation. Mutation rates were determined using reversion analysis of an Ig V region nonsense codon (Vn). A construct (Vn/gamma2a) in which a Vn was associated with the gamma2a constant region and its intervening and immediate flanking sequences mutated at a high rate of 2.2 x 10(-4)/bp/generation in the NSO myeloma cell line. This same Vn, when associated with the mu constant region (Vn/mu), mutated at a 1000-fold lower rate in NSO. The Vn/gamma2a construct also mutated at high rates in the 18.81 pre-B and the S107 myeloma cell lines and at a low rate in the J558 myeloma cell line. In NSO, the presence of the gamma2a construct raised the mutation rate of the mu construct and the mu decreased the mutation rate of gamma2a. These results suggest that there is both positive and negative regulation of V region mutation and that different cell lines express different combinations and/or amounts of trans-acting factors that are involved in the mutational process.
