Both class switch recombination (CSR) and somatic hypermutation (SHM) of the Ig genes require the activity of activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID). Expression of AID is restricted to B cells in the germinal centers of the lymphoid organs, where activated B cells undergo CSR and SHM. We previously showed that constitutive and systemic expression of AID leads to tumorigenesis in T cells and lung epithelium, but not in B cells. This finding led us to suspect that transgenic AID may be inactivated at least in part in B cells. To address this issue, we generated conditional AID-transgenic mice that constitutively express AID only in B cells. Studies on the cross between the AID-transgenic and AID-deficient mice showed that abundant AID protein accumulated by constitutive expression is inactivated in B cells, possibly providing an explanation for the absence of deregulation of CSR and SHM in AID-transgenic B cells.
