Abstract excerpt
PreBCR signaling is critical for B cell development and normally depends on the association of a nascent, component Ig H chain with the surrogate L chain (SLC), which helps ensure that only B cells that synthesize structurally sound antibody can develop. How the invariant and lambda-like SLC vets billions of unique V(H) domains for compatibility with polymorphic kappa and lambda L chains is unclear, because the...
