Role of CD4+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes in the control of viral diseases and cancer.

abstract：:A unifying theory of B cell development and lineage commitment is presented. There are two firmly established B lineages: cells which normally arise only from fetal sources and lack N insertions in their rearranged heavy chains; and N-containing cells which arise from adult bone marrow precursors (and perhaps from lat...
