B Cell Receptor Signalling Basics. Shown are the B cell receptor (BCR), the co-receptor CD19, and various signalling intermediates that are engaged following binding of the BCR to antigen. Several downstream pathways are ultimately triggered, as indicated. The asterisk indicates protein regions affected by recurrent somatic alterations in human lymphomas. See main text for details.
