How pre-B cells know when they have it right

Mark Schlissel

Mark Schlissel is in the Department of Molecular and Cell Biology, University of California, Berkeley, 439 LSA, Berkeley, California 94720-3200, USA. mss@uclink4.berkeley.edu

Early B cell development faces a critical checkpoint at the pro-B right arrow pre-B transition stage, at which proper assembly and surface expression of an immunoglobulin heavy chain is somehow signaled by the pre-B cell receptor. Triggering of this signal might not require exogenous ligands.
