The somatic process by which immunoglobulin genes are diversified through the mechanism of gene conversion following the induction of an immune response. The somatic process by which immunoglobulin genes are diversified through the mechanism of gene conversion. Recombination occurring within or between DNA molecules in somatic cells. The somatic process allowing for the production of immune receptors whose specificity is not encoded in the germline genomic sequences. The somatic process by means of which sequence diversity of immunoglobulins is generated. The process by which immune receptor genes are diversified through gene conversion. The appearance of immunoglobulin due to biosynthesis or secretion following a cellular stimulus, resulting in an increase in its intracellular or extracellular levels.
