Diversification of Antibodies: From V(D)J Recombination to Somatic Exon Shuffling

Abstract

Antibodies that gain specificity by a large insert encoding for an extra domain were described for the first time in 2016. In malaria-exposed individuals, an exon deriving from the leukocyte-associated immunoglobulin-like 1 () gene integrated via a copy-and-paste insertion into the immunoglobulin heavy chain encoding region. A few years later, a second example was identified, namely a dual exon integration from the leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor B1 () gene that is located in close proximity to . A dedicated high-throughput characterization of chimeric immunoglobulin heavy chain transcripts unraveled, that insertions from distant genomic regions (including mitochondrial DNA) can contribute to human antibody diversity. This review describes the modalities of insert-containing antibodies. The role of known DNA mobility aspects, such as genomic translocation, gene conversion, and DNA fragility, is discussed in the context of insert-antibody generation. Finally, the review covers why insert antibodies were omitted from the past repertoire analyses and how insert antibodies can contribute to protective immunity or an autoreactive response.
