The contribution of different domains of connexin 43 to cytoskeletal rearrangements in B-lymphocytes
B-cells change shape in response to crosslinking of the B-cell antigen receptor (BCR). BCR signaling induces cytoskeletal rearrangements that result in cell spreading to improve antigen accumulation and B-cell activation. It has previously been shown that the gap junction protein connexin43 (Cx43) i...
