Table 4.
Clones marked by rearrangement | Major clone | Minor clones | |||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Relative abundance of rearrangement | 100–10% | >10% | 10–1% | 1−0.1% | <0.1% |
Detected by both analyses | 61 | 8 | 6 | 1 | 4 |
Conventional only | 4 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 |
Repertoire analysis only | 23 | 5 | 12 | 10 | 24 |
Probability | <0.0001 | NS | <0.0001 | <0.001 | <0.0001 |
The criteria for major and minor clones are described in Materials and Methods. Rearrangements have been grouped by abundance and the probabilities that the differences in detection of rearrangements arose by chance are shown. NS, not significant.
