Recent studies indicate that immature B cells compete with recirculating B cells for survival signals. The signals, delivered through the B-cell receptor for antigen, induce immature cells to differentiate into recirculating cells and maintain the survival of recirculating cells. They do not induce proliferation or differentiation to antibody-producing cells.
最近的研究表明,未成熟B细胞与再循环B细胞竞争生存信号。这些通过抗原的B细胞受体传递的信号,诱导未成熟细胞分化为再循环细胞,并维持再循环细胞的存活。它们不会诱导增殖或分化为产生抗体的细胞。
