Abstract excerpt
X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) is caused by mutations in the gene encoding the cytoplasmic Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk). Btk has been shown to play an essential role in the development of B1 (CD5+) and conventional circulating mature B cells (B2) in mouse and man. It has been shown in earlier studies that Btk is involved in both the BCR- and CD40-mediated signaling pathways. In this study, we analyzed the...
