Secreted IgM deficiency leads to increased BCR signaling that results in abnormal splenic B cell development

Abstract Mice lacking secreted IgM (sIgM −/−) antibodies display abnormal splenic B cell development, which results in increased marginal zone and decreased follicular B cell numbers. However, the mechanism by which sIgM exhibit this effect is unknown. Here, we demonstrate that B cells in sIgM −/− m...
