Abstract excerpt
A point mutation in the pleckstrin homology domain of the mouse Bruton's tyrosine kinase (btk) gene results in an X-linked immune defect, Xid, characterized by immunologic unresponsiveness to polymeric carbohydrate Ags. In Xid mice, B cells specific for phosphocholine (PC) do not develop in peripheral lymphoid tissues because they either fail to be positively selected from the marrow or they are clonally deleted...
