Clonotype specificity distinguishes epitope-tailored and permissive somatic hypermutation
Identifying antibody features that reliably encode epitope specificity poses a major barrier towards modeling antigen-antibody interactions. Affinity maturation offers a unique opportunity to probe the molecular basis of antigen-antibody interactions by revealing how individual somatic hypermutations (SHM) refine antibody binding. Using SARS-CoV-2 spike-specific germinal center B-cell…
