PLCγ-dependent mTOR signalling controls IL-7-mediated early B cell development

IL-7R activation drives early B cell development, but the signalling is unclear. Here the authors show PLCγ is involved in IL-7R-induced mTOR activation via a DAG/PKC-dependent pathway, and that double deficiency of the two PLCγ isoforms arrests B cell development at the pre-pro-B stage in mice.
