BCL-6 is an important regulator of the immune system. It is required for GC formation and T cell dependent antibody responses. Mice deficient in BCL-6 fail to form GC and mount reduced levels of T cell-dependent antibody responses. BCL-6 (-/-) mice, in addition, develop a massive inflammatory respon
The initial phases of B cell development depend on interactions between the cell surface molecules and secreted products of stromal cells with their receptor-ligand partners on lymphoid progenitors. Recent research in this area has greatly advanced our understanding of B cell development and differe
