Age-related changes in antigen-driven selection. (A) Mean R/S ratio in V gene CDRs as a measure of selection pressure showed an increase in early childhood in all mutated B cell subsets. For sequences with replacement but no silent mutations, the number of silent mutations was set to 1. (B) Mean selection strength in CDRs calculated using BASELINe decreases with age in class switched subsets.
