Abstract excerpt
The induction of a humoral response depends upon efficient cross-linking by antigen of surface immunoglobulin on primary B lymphocytes. We demonstrate here the presence of a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-linked isoform of membrane IgD (mIgD) receptors on murine resting B cells. This subset was constitutively localized to cell membrane raft microdomains. Its stimulation resulted in the activation of cAMP-dependent...
