What does "clonally diverse " mean here?
Context:
In the lamprey, two different lymphocyte lineages bearing clonally diverse lymphocyte receptors, VLRB and VLRA, were traced as analogs of mammalian humoral B cells and T cells respectively, that mediate B and T cell based antigen-specific adaptive immunity.
@oristarA,
My deduction is:
clonally diverse = rich in clonal forms.
I'd say rich in clonal receptors.
I'd say:
lineages bearing a variety of clones in the lymphocyte receptors
Stumble It!
