IL-7 receptor signaling is necessary for stage transition in adult B cell development through up-regulation of EBF

Cytokine receptor signals have been suggested to stimulate cell differentiation during hemato/lymphopoiesis. Such action, however, has not been clearly demonstrated. Here, we show that adult B cell development in IL-7 −/− and IL-7Rα2/− mice is arrested at the pre–pro-B cell stage due to insufficient...
