Fig. 1.
Nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences of VH genes derived from nodal MZLs.
Comparisons were made with the most homologous germ line VHgenes. Dashes represent identity with the representative germ line sequence. Nucleotide differences are shown in lowercase letters whenever a replacement mutation is concerned. Silent mutations are shown in capital letters. Replacement amino acids are also indicated at the bottom of each scheme. One insertion (case no. 5) is shown in FW2 as extra nucleotides.
