Abstract excerpt
CD22, a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily, is a B-cell transmembrane glycoprotein that acts as an accessory-signaling component of the B-cell antigen receptor (BCR). Recent evidence indicating the role of CD22 as a negative regulator of BCR signal transduction prompted us to test the possibility that genetic variations of human CD22 may be associated with autoimmune diseases. In this study, variation...
