Recent studies indicate that immature B cells compete with recirculating B cells for survival signals. The signals, delivered through the B-cell receptor for antigen, induce immature cells to differentiate into recirculating cells and maintain the survival of recirculating cells. They do not induce
The antigen receptor on B lymphocytes is the product of a series ~of gene rearrangements which ends when a functional receptor gene is assembled. Recent work has shown that the receptor-associated molecules Iga and Igl3 provide the signals that lead to inhibition of further recombination. Furthermor
