Abstract excerpt
To determine whether CD40 ligation influences the molecular and selective mechanisms that govern the development of the human Ig light chain repertoire, analysis of the Vkappa and Vlambda repertoires of CD19+ B cells obtained from a patient with X-linked hyper IgM syndrome (XHIM) and a nonfunctional CD154 was carried out. The nonproductive Vkappa and Vlambda repertoires were largely comparable to that of the...
