Abstract excerpt
Binding of dimeric immunoglobulin (Ig)A to the polymeric Ig receptor (pIgR) stimulates transcytosis of pIgR across epithelial cells. Through the generation of a series of pIgR chimeric constructs, we have tested the ability of ligand to promote receptor dimerization and the subsequent role of receptor dimerization on its intracellular trafficking. Using the cytoplasmic domain of the T cell receptor-zeta chain as...
