Pro-B cells sense productive immunoglobulin heavy chain rearrangement irrespective of polypeptide production

B-lymphocyte development is dictated by the protein products of functionally rearranged Ig heavy (H) and light (L) chain genes. Ig rearrangement begins in pro-B cells at the IgH locus. If pro-B cells generate a productive allele, they assemble a pre-B cell receptor complex, which signals their diffe...
