Abstract excerpt
Previous studies have indicated that a sizable fraction of adult human peripheral blood B cells may express IgM receptors encoded by somatically mutated V regions. From these studies it was uniquely associated with the peripheral blood B cell compartment, was uniquely associated with the peripheral blood B cell compartment, associated with particular VH gene segments and/or B cell subpopulations. We have...
