AID is an antibody-altering protein, originally thought to be made only by mature B cells and in the developing B cells of transgenic mice. Researchers at Tufts University report that AID is also made by developing B cells in wild-type, or normal, mice. This may offer a new direction for research into autoimmune diseases.
