Late immature B cells (IgMhighIgDneg) undergo a light chain receptor editing response to soluble self-antigenLina E Tze
Center for Immunology and Department of Medicine, University of Minnesota Medical School, Minneapolis, MN 55455, USA
J Immunol 171:678-82. 2003..These studies suggest that the developmental window available for immature B cells to edit their Ig receptors, at least in response to certain soluble Ags, extends through the IgM(high) late immature B cell stage...
B cell receptor basal signaling regulates antigen-induced Ig light chain rearrangementsBrian R Schram
Center for Immunology, Department of Medicine, University of Minnesota Medical School, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN 55455, USA
J Immunol 180:4728-41. 2008..These findings support a model whereby Ag-induced receptor editing is inhibited by BCR basal signaling on developing B cells; BCR down-regulation removes this basal signal, thereby initiating receptor editing...
