Evolutionary variation of immunoglobulin mu heavy chain RNA processing pathways: origins, effects, and implications.

Immunological reviews - 1 Dec 1998

Ross D A, Wilson M R, Miller N W, Clem L W, Warr G W

Abstract excerpt

Immunoglobulins (Ig) can occur in two physical forms, soluble (secreted) and membrane bound. The soluble form is secreted from B cells, and is present in the blood and other fluids where it plays a role as an immune effector molecule. The membrane-bound form of the Ig molecule is inserted into the B-cell membrane, where it serves as a receptor for antigen. The function of the membrane-bound Ig as a receptor for...
