The lineage relationship between virgin and memory B cells.

abstract：:Murine complement receptor type 2 (MCR2) is homologous to human CR2, whereas murine CR1 (MCR1) is structurally and evolutionary different from human CR1. Since ligand specificities of MCR1 and MCR2 are not completely clarified, we analyzed their functional characteristics to correlate them with structural information ...
