Cross-linking the Leu-8 lymph node homing receptor on B cells inhibits immunoglobulin synthesis.

abstract：:The initial stages of an immune response are regulated at the level of the cell-surface antigen and Fc receptors. The extracellular portions of these receptors provide immune specificity and determine the nature of the responding effector cells, whereas the intracellular portion transduces signals into the cell and de...
