Somatic hypermutation (SHM) normally occurs as a consequence of the expression of activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) by antigen-activated, mature B cells during T cell-dependent (Td) germinal center (GC) responses. Nonetheless, despite their inability to express CD154 and initiate GC responses, patients with type-I hyper IgM syndrome (HIGM1), support populations of IgM+IgD+CD27+ B cells that express mutated Ig genes. The origin of these mutated B cells is unknown; the IgM+IgD+CD27+ cells do not express AID and appear to acquire mutations independent of stringent selection by Ag. Here we demonstrate that immature/transitional 1 (im/T1) B cells from the bone marrow of CD154 deficient mice express AID and acquire Ig mutations that lack the hallmarks of antigenic selection via BCR signaling. Comparable levels of AID expression was found in developmentally immature B cells recovered from murine fetal liver and from human im/T1 B cells recovered from umbilical cord blood. AID expression in human fetal liver was also robust, approaching that of human tonsil tissue and the human GC B cell line, Ramos. These observations lead us to conclude that AID expression in developing human B cells is the origin of the mutated IgM+IgD+CD27+ B cells present in HIGM1 patients and we propose that both mice and human share a latent, AID-dependent pathway for the pre-immune diversification of B lymphocytes that is more prominent in chicken, sheep, and rabbits.
