  2. Antibody Genes Scientists long wondered how all the genetic information needed to make millions of different antibodies could fit in a limited number of genes. … a process combining somatic DNA rearrangement w/ somatic mutations Immunology: Education and promiscuity.WILLIAM R. HEATH AND HAMISH S. SCOTT ... lead to autoimmune diseases … To prevent this, T cells must undergo a strict education in the thymus ... Quiz 11 Briefly, explain how somatic rearrangement/mutations and subsequent screening of Tcells can result in millions of different clones of antigen-specific Tcells, with none of the clones being reactive to antigens expressed by the “self.”
