Redistribution of myosin accompanying capping of surface Ig

J Exp Med. 1977 May 1;145(5):1393-8. doi: 10.1084/jem.145.5.1393.

Abstract

The capping of surface Ig on B cells occurs with a striking redistribution of cytoplasmic myosin. Our results suggest a close association between surface Ig and myosin which could be the basis for Ig redistribution and stimulated motility.
