Abstract

Antibodies on the surface of B lymphocytes trigger adaptive immune responses and control a series of antigen-independent checkpoints during B cell development. These physiologic processes are regulated by a complex of membrane immunoglobulin and two signal transducing proteins known as Igα and Igβ. Here we focus on the role of antibodies in governing the maturation of B cells from early antigen-independent through the final antigen-dependent stages.
