pubmed:abstractText
The internalization of surface immunoglobulin (Ig) by B lymphocytes is the first step in the antigen-presenting function performed by these cells. Mature B cells coexpress on their surface IgM and IgD. At this time, there is controversy over whether these two isotypes serve different functions in the antigen-presenting process. The results presented here show that the intracellular pattern of distribution of IgM and IgD after internalization is strikingly different in the B cell lines studied. These findings support the hypothesis that the role of the two Ig classes in the antigen-presenting function may be different.
