The scientists are investigating various mouse strains with mutations or knockouts in genes related to B cell function and somatic hypermutation. The goal is to determine which groups of mutant mice (G1-G6) show significant differences in antibody titers compared to wild-type mice, indicating altered antibody production dynamics due to the genetic changes."}
