Abstract excerpt
Normally occurring and experimentally induced models of immunodeficiency indicate that B cell development and antibody production are influenced by genetic factors. It is highly likely that polymorphic variants in genes that encode receptors for growth and differentiation factors, signal transduction molecules, and components of the B cell and pre-B-cell receptor complex contribute to this genetic control. We...
