Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Expression of the pre-B-cell receptor (pre-BCR) by pre-BII cells constitutes a crucial checkpoint in B-cell differentiation. Mutations that affect the pre-B-cell receptor result in early B-cell differentiation blockades that lead to primary B-cell immunodeficiencies. BLNK adaptor protein has a key role in the pre-B-cell receptor signaling cascade, as illustrated by the abnormal B-cell development in...
