Current opinion in immunology, 2001•ElsevierB cells have to progress through various checkpoints during their process of development.
The three transcription factors E2A, EBF (early B cell factor) and Pax5 play essential roles in
B cell commitment checkpoints. The various forms of the BCR and their downstream
signaling molecules, which are expressed at different stages of B cell development, act as
critical checkpoint guards allowing (positive selection) or preventing (negative selection)
developmental progression. The recent advances on the molecular mechanisms operating …

The three transcription factors E2A, EBF (early B cell factor) and Pax5 play essential roles in B cell commitment checkpoints. The various forms of the BCR and their downstream signaling molecules, which are expressed at different stages of B cell development, act as critical checkpoint guards allowing (positive selection) or preventing (negative selection) developmental progression. The recent advances on the molecular mechanisms operating at these various checkpoints are here summarized and discussed.
