Questions and Answers

Which cells are called small pre-B cells?

Cells that express the μ protein only in the cytoplasm (correct)

Cells that express the λ protein on the cell surface

Cells that express the μ protein on the cell surface

Cells that express the κ protein on the cell surface

What is the result of V to J rearrangement of the κ light-chain gene in small pre-B cells?

Production of the λ protein and assembly of cell surface IgM

Production of the κ protein only in the cytoplasm

Production of the κ protein and assembly of cell surface IgM (correct)

Production of the μ protein and assembly of cell surface IgM

What happens if the rearranged κ chain locus fails to express a functional protein or generates a potentially harmful self-reactive receptor?

The κ chain generates a complete antigen receptor

The λ light chain is produced

The κ chain is eliminated through receptor editing (correct)

The μ protein is expressed on the cell surface
