CD79

CD79 is a protein complex found on the surface of certain immune cells called B cells, which are responsible for producing antibodies to fight infections. It plays a key role in the development and activation of B cells by helping transmit signals when the B cell's receptor binds to a harmful substance. These signals are essential for B cell growth and immune response. Because of its specific presence on B cells, CD79 is often used in medical testing to identify and study B cell-related diseases, including some types of lymphoma and leukemia.
