Document Summary
Hematopoiesis: formation and development of red and white blood cells from stem cells. Progenitor b cell ig-gene rearrangement, selection mature b cell. Na ve b cell without ag cell death (~90%) Na ve b cell with ag (~10%) and th cell activated b cell affinity maturation (memory b cell) or class switching (plasma cell secreted ab) Stem cell (clp) dhjh pro-b cell (ig- / , cd19) vhdhjh pre-b cell (pre-bcr) Vljl immature b cell (igm) mature b cell (igd, ready to encounter antigen) Stromal stem cells in general interact with hematopoietic stem cells, giving them signals they need to differentiate into lymphocyte progenitors. 2 roles for stromal cells in b cell development. Express adhesion molecules that keep the progenitor cells close for direct contact. After a successful rearrangement, vdjh is immediately transcribed. Il-7 receptor expression ( transcription factors rag 1 & 2 hc gene rearrangement) Important adhesion molecules and signaling events in the progression of b cell development.
