Abstract excerpt
Signaling lymphocyte activation molecule (SLAM)-associated protein (SAP)) interactions with SLAM family proteins play important roles in immune function. SAP-deficient mice have defective B cell function, including impairment of germinal center formation, production of class-switched Ig, and development of memory B cells. B cells are the major reservoir of latency for both EBV and the homologous murine...
