Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is characterized by high-avidity IgG antinuclear antibodies (ANAs) that are almost certainly products of T cell–dependent immune responses. Whether critical amino acids in the third complementarity-determining region (CDR3) ANA originate from V(D)J recombination or somatic hypermutation (SHM) not known. We studied a mouse model SLE which all mutations within V regions, including those CDR3, could be unequivocally identified. Mutation reversion analyses...
