Abstract excerpt
In mature B cells, signals transduced through membrane immunoglobulin (Ig) produce cellular activation, yet the same receptor can also mediate deletion and silencing of autoreactive B cells. In addition, Ig expression during the antigen-independent phase of B cell development regulates the precursor B (pre-B) cell transition and allelic exclusion. To account for the diverse regulatory functions induced by...
