Integrin β1 regulates marginal zone B cell differentiation and PI3K signaling

Marginal zone (MZ) B cells represent innate-like B cells that mediate a fast immune response. The adhesion of MZ B cells to the marginal sinus of the spleen is governed by integrins. Here, we address the question of whether β1-integrin has additional functions by analyzing Itgb1fl/flCD21Cre mice …
