| Research Abstract |
The IgG molecule expressing on the memory B cells have the evolutionarily conserved cytoplasmic tail. However, the physiological role of the IgG cytoplasmic tail is not clear. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to clarify the role of the cytoplasmic tail of IgG molecule.
As a result, the cytoplasmic tail of IgG contributed to the stably expression of the IgG molecule on the cell surface, and its phosphorylation contributed to more stably expression of the IgG on the cell surface.
