Abstract excerpt
In the present report, we have investigated the in vitro differentiation of surface(s) sIgD+ and sIgD- human B cells into Ig-secreting cells in response to various stimuli. sIgD+ B cells homogeneously expressed some of the antigens identifying mantle zone B cells, but lacked expression of germinal center markers, thus confirming that the B cell populations positively selected on the basis of sIgD expression were...
