Only full-length V gene rearrangements and correct V-gene, i.e., VH1-69, VH3-21, VH3-23, VH3-48, and VH4-34 in stereotyped BCR-specific PCR approach

Identical sequences counted as one. When all sequences obtained are counted individually, the statistical significance is below P < 0.001. Stereotypy was determined based on a 60% homology of the CDR3.

P-values calculated by Fisher’s exact test versus unique conventional B cell sequences.

Total numbers of V_H1 and V_H3 gene analysis of four independent healthy blood donors are given, for details see Table S3.

Total numbers of V genes amplified by PCR for V_H gene segments frequently used by stereotyped BCR of two independent healthy blood donors are given, for details see Table S7.
