The initiation of antibody responses to foreign antigens requires that B cells receive and integrate a variety of signals through an array of cell surface receptors including the B cell antigen receptor (BCR) as well as a number of essential coreceptors. Recent evidence indicates that cholesterol-rich plasma membrane microdomains, referred to here as lipid rafts, serve as platforms for BCR signaling and trafficking in B cells. The existence of rafts suggests a previously unappreciated level of organization at the B cell surface that may explain, at least in part, how BCR signaling is coordinated. Here the current evidence that lipid rafts play a key role in B cell responses is reviewed.
对外源抗原产生抗体反应需要B细胞通过一系列细胞表面受体接收并整合多种信号,这些受体包括B细胞抗原受体(BCR)以及一些重要的共受体。最近的证据表明,富含胆固醇的质膜微结构域(本文称为脂筏)作为B细胞中BCR信号传导和运输的平台。脂筏的存在表明B细胞表面存在一种以前未被重视的组织水平,这可能至少部分解释了BCR信号是如何协调的。本文综述了脂筏在B细胞反应中起关键作用的现有证据。
