Abstract excerpt
B cell precursors transiently express a pre-B cell receptor complex consisting of a rearranged mu heavy chain, a surrogate light chain composed of lambda5/14.1 and VpreB, and the immunoglobulin (Ig)-associated signal transducing chains, Igalpha and Igbeta. Mutations in the mu heavy chain are asso...
