Abstract excerpt
The establishment of a diverse B cell repertoire requires fine-tuning of antigen receptor selection during development in order to permit sufficient diversity while reducing the potential for autoimmunity. In this review, we highlight recent studies demonstrating the central role of the B cell antigen receptor (BCR), in coordination with other key pro-survival signals mediated by CD40, BAFF-R, TACI and/or TLRs,...
