During the several-week course of an immune response, B cells undergo a process
of clonal expansion, somatic hypermutation of the immunoglobulin (Ig) genes and
affinity-dependent selection. Over a lifetime, each B cell may participate in
multiple rounds of affinity maturation as part of different immune responses.
These two time-scales for selection are apparent in the structure of B-cell
lineage trees, which often contain a 'trunk' consisting of mutations that are
shared across all members of a clone, and several branches that form a 'canopy'
consisting of mutations that are shared by a subset of clone members. The
influence of affinity maturation on the B-cell population can be inferred by
analysing the pattern of somatic mutations in the Ig. While global analysis of
mutation patterns has shown evidence of strong selection pressures shaping the
B-cell population, the effect of different time-scales of selection and
diversification has not yet been studied. Analysis of B cells from blood samples
of three healthy individuals identifies a range of clone sizes with lineage trees
that can contain long trunks and canopies indicating the significant diversity
introduced by the affinity maturation process. We here show that observed
mutation patterns in the framework regions (FWRs) are determined by an almost
purely purifying selection on both short and long time-scales. By contrast,
complementarity determining regions (CDRs) are affected by a combination of
purifying and antigen-driven positive selection on the short term, which leads to
a net positive selection in the long term. In both the FWRs and CDRs, long-term
selection is strongly dependent on the heavy chain variable gene family.
