Immunoglobulin heavy chain germ-line JH-C mu transcription in human precursor B lymphocytes initiates in a unique region upstream of DQ52.

abstract：:Antigens in the form of immune complexes are retained on the membranes of follicular dendritic cells (FDC) for long periods of time. To examine how immune complexes reach germinal centers, where FDC are located, we injected mice with anti-2,4-dinitrophenyl (DNP) antibodies complexed to DNP-myoglobin-coated gold partic...
