Created page with "== Organization and recombination of the immunoglobulin genes, VDJ recombination == For the adaptive immune system to work, each individual B-cell has to create different antibodies that can bind to different antigens, so that when a pathogen invades, at least one antibody can bind to one of the pathogen’s antigens. Because antibodies are just protein transcribed from DNA, the immunoglobulin-coding gene in each B-cell must be slightly different. This is done by recombi..."
