The pre-B cell receptor (pre-BCR) serves as a checkpoint in B cell, development. In the 2.7 angstrom structure of a human pre-BCR Fab-like, fragment, consisting of an antibody heavy chain (HC) paired with the, surrogate light chain, the "unique regions" of VpreB and lambda5 replace, the complementarity-determining region 3 (CDR3) loop of an antibody light, chain and appear to "probe" the HC CDR3, potentially influencing the, selection of the antibody repertoire. Biochemical analysis indicates that, the pre-BCR is impaired in its ability to recognize antigen, which, together with electron microscopic visualization of a pre-BCR dimer, suggests ligand-independent oligomerization as the likely signaling, mechanism. | The pre-B cell receptor (pre-BCR) serves as a checkpoint in B cell, development.
