Abstract excerpt
The membrane-associated form of Ig heavy chain (mu) protein has been implicated as a critical regulator of B cell development. Mutant mice unable to produce the membrane form of mu protein fail to produce mature B cells. Splenic B cells from mice transgenic for a functionally rearranged Ig mu gene show a marked decrease in endogenous heavy chain gene rearrangement. We have analyzed the effects of a human mu...
