Abstract excerpt
Membrane-bound preBCR of wild-type mice, and probably also preBCR-like V(preB) muH chain complexes in lambda5-deficient mice, signal allelic exclusion so that < 0.1% of all preB-II cells and all subsequent B lineage cells express two muH chains on their surface. On the other hand a large number of muH chains which are originally generated at the transition of preB-I to preB-II cells cannot pair with surrogate L...
