Analysis of B cell development in an Ig-alpha knockout mouse and comparison with Ig-beta and Ig-alpha/Ig-beta double deficient mice provides a very clear demonstration of the important and non-redundant role of these proteins in progression past the earliest progenitor stages.
While normal levels of V(D)J recombination are foun revising...
