Description
The B cell Antigen receptor constitutes a disulphide linked heterodimer, consisting of CD79a / mb1 and CD79b / B29 polypeptides, non covalently associated with membrane bound immunoglobulins on B cells. CD79a first appears at pre B cell stage and persists until the plasma cell stage where it is found as an intracellular component. CD79a is found in B cell lymphomas, in B cell lines, the majority of acute leukemias of precursor B cell type and in some myelomas. The CD79a/b heterodimer interacts with at least one tyrosine kinase (Lyn). Induction of tyrosine kinase activity after antigen binding causes phosphorylation of the CD79a/b dimer, and also of other molecules, thereby initiating intracellular signaling. CD79a is widely used as an adjunct to CD20 for detecting normal and neoplastic B cells in tissues sections.
