Publisher's Synopsis
This text presents the proceedings of a New York Academy of Sciences conference, held in May 1991. This review of the field, of interest to a broad group of clinical and basic immunologists, defines the physical, functional and molecular aspects of this small subset of murine B cells. The diverse aspects of the research presented here range from molecular and cell biology to development, immunology, ageing and cancer, complex systems and clinical medicine. This work should make a valuable contribution to the literature of B cell physiology.
