Knowledge of Ig gene organization, rearrangement, and somatic modifications has provided insight into the diversity of antibody response^.'-^ Given the number of possible gene segment reassortments, junctional variations, additions of untemplated nucleotides, and somatic mutations, the calculated potential for diversity is far greater than the numbers of B cells in an animal. Thus, the expressed repertoire is only a subset of all the potential sequence variants and it is especially limited in fetal and neonatal life! Mechanisms for restricting and shaping the naive repertoire have been studied intensively. Autoreactivity can restrict and shape it through negative selection, with inactivation or elimination of emerging B cells that have sIg receptors with high affinity for auto antigen^,^-^ and through secondary rearrangements (receptor editing) that yield nonautoreactive Ig. 8.9 Further narrowing of the repertoire occurs if emerging cells that have no ligand interaction at all are short-lived.'O Some interaction with a cell surface Ig receptor that includes the p-chain V region and the JIL chain is required for progression of B cells through pre-B cell development, particularly between pre-BI and pre-BII stages."-14 The ligands for these receptors are not known. Perhaps they are endogenous (ie, self) ligands. Whether a positive or negative signal is triggered by self ligands could depend on the physical form or affinity of interacting component^*^*'^ or on the cooperating signals and signaling pathways available at various stages of deve10prnent. l~ Cross-linking of receptors on immature B cells leads to apoptosis;'8 however, the occurrence of self-interactions that might yield positive effects at some stage of development would help to explain recumng nonrandom features of the primary Ig V gene repertoire. I9 The possibility that both positive and negative selection may be based on selfrecognition is an issue for development of the T cell as well as the B cell repertoire. 20
