Mutations are targeted to the CDRs in the Sec clones and display evidence of positive selection in CDR1

*

Mutated clones with fewer than 15 mutations (Sec, n = 66; Tm, n = 60). 

Excludes tandem mutations where the type of change depends on which mutation occurred first. These were not excluded from the Pn, Ps analysis. R, replacement; s, silent. 

P < 0.05 (Wilcoxon Signed-Ranks Test). 

§

P < 0.05 (G test; Sec clones CDR mutation frequency was higher than Tm clones).
