Proteomic Changes

B cells play a pivotal role in adaptive system , since they maintain a fragile balance between recognition and clearance of foreign pathogens and tolerance to self. During maturation, B cells progress through a series of developmental stages defined by specific phenotypic surface markers and therefore the rearrangement and expression of immunoglobulin (Ig) genes. to urge insight into B cell proteome during the maturation pathway, we studied differential protein expression in eight human cell lines, which cover four distinctive developmental stages; early pre-B, pre-B, plasmacyte and immature B cell upon anti-IgM stimulation. Our two-dimensional differential gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE) and mass spectrometry based proteomic study indicates the involvement of huge number of proteins with various functions.
