Structurally distinct endocytic pathways for B cell receptors in B lymphocytes

Abstract excerpt

B lymphocytes play a critical role in adaptive immunity. On antigen binding, B cell receptors (BCR) cluster on the plasma membrane and are internalized by endocytosis. In this process, B cells capture diverse antigens in various contexts and concentrations. However, it is unclear whether the mechanism of BCR endocytosis changes in response to these factors. Here, we studied the mechanism of soluble...
