Profiles of six CDR3 positions in HN clones (a) compared with the same positions in splenic sequences (b) of the same length. Amino acids are grouped according to their properties as A acidic (), B basic (), H hydrophobic (□), L polar (▪), G glycine , P proline , W tryptophanand Y tyrosine . Positions 1, 2, 4 and 6 of the CDR3 profile of the HN clones shows clear restriction when compared with splenic sequences of the same length (P < 0·05).
