Abstract excerpt
There is good evidence for a signaling role played by Ig heavy chain in the developmental transition through the pre-B cell stage. We have previously described signal-capable or signal-incapable mutants of mu heavy chain in which a signaling defect is caused by failure to associate with the Ig alpha/beta heterodimer. To further characterize the role of Ig heavy chain-mediated signaling in vivo, as well as in B...
