The activation of lymphocytes is in their CARMA
Abstract
Lymphocyte activation via antigen receptors initiates adaptive immune responses. Two papers in this issue of Immunity demonstrate that CARMA-1, a CARD carrying member of the MAGUK family proteins, is essential for lymphocyte activation. CARMA-1 functions by coupling antigen receptor signals to NF-kappaB induction and JNK activation.
