CD19 and CD22 regulate a B lymphocyte signal transduction pathway that contributes to autoimmunity.
The fate of B lymphocytes is dependent on intrinsic and B cell antigen receptor (BCR)-induced signals. These signals are modified and interpreted by other cell-surface molecules such as CD19 and CD22 that govern mature B cell activation. This review assesses our current understanding of how CD19 and CD22 regulate B lymphocyte signaling and how alterations in these response-regulators contribute...
متن کاملB-cell tolerance and autoimmunity
Self-reactive B cells are tolerized at various stages of B-cell development and differentiation, including the immature B-cell stage (central tolerance) and the germinal center (GC) B-cell stage, and B-cell tolerance involves various mechanisms such as deletion, anergy, and receptor editing. Self-reactive B cells generated by random immunoglobulin variable gene rearrangements are tolerized by c...
متن کاملGuard Cell Signal Transduction.
Guard cells surround stomatal pores in the epidermis of plant leaves and stems. Stomatal pore opening is essential for CO2 influx into leaves for photosynthetic carbon fixation. In exchange, plants lose over 95% of their water via transpiration to the atmosphere. Signal transduction mechanisms in guard cells integrate hormonal stimuli, light signals, water status, CO2, temperature, and other en...

متن کاملSignal, Transduction, and the Hematopoietic Stem Cell
The hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) is a unique cell positioned highest in the hematopoietic hierarchical system. The HSC has the ability to stay in quiescence, to self-renew, or to differentiate and generate all lineages of blood cells. The path to be actualized is influenced by signals that derive from the cell's microenvironment, which activate molecular pathways inside the cell. Signaling pat...
