✦ Synopsis


Studies of the immune system of various species have revealed that antibody repertoire can be generated in many different ways. This review underlines some general principles for comparing the different processes which represent the basic framework of these systems.

A common principle in B-cell development is the stringent selection of cells expressing appropriate antibody V regions as surface receptors. Cells failing to do so appear destined to rapid death. These life-death decisions are mediated by signals whose nature is not yet understood but whose generati

Like mammals, the amphibian Xenopus uses combinatorial joining of the immunoglobulin V, D and J elements and multiple rearrangements to generate its B cell repertoire. Xenopus larvae hatch 2 days after fertilization and individuals are under pressure to develop an immune repertoire when the number o

The molecular mechanisms underlying pre-B cell growth and immunoglobulin gene rearrangement have been actively investigated. Some growth factors for B-cell precursors as well as some genes activating V(D)J recombination have been identified. Furthermore, the molecular structure and signaling capacit
