Differentiation from thymic B cell progenitors to mature B cells in vitro.

abstract：:Ficolins are a group of proteins containing both a collagen-like domain and a fibrinogen-like domain and are found in varying tissues. Ficolins present in sera have a lectin activity toward N-acetylglucosamine through their fibrinogen-like domains. The domain organizations between ficolins and mannose-binding lectin (...
