Impaired precursor B cell differentiation in Bruton's tyrosine kinase-deficient mice [PDF]
, 2002 Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) is a cytoplasmic signaling molecule that is crucial for precursor (pre-B) cell differentiation in humans. In this study, we show that during the transition of large cycling to small resting pre-B cells in ...

Expression and regulation of antimicrobial peptides in mucosal immunity [PDF]
, 2012 Antimicrobial polypeptides (AMPs) are effector molecules of the innate immune defense. AMPs are mainly expressed in epithelial cells and immune cells, providing the first line of defense to infection as direct antimicrobials.
