Abstract excerpt
We describe an assay system that allows precursor cells, uncommitted for heavy and light chain immunoglobulin expression, to develop into B lymphocytes that can differentiate to antibody-producing cells. Some precursors have the immunoglobulin loci in germ-line configuration. Approximately 200-15...
