Initiation of signal transduction by receptor aggregation: role of nonreceptor tyrosine kinases.
Receptors which induce immune system effector function bear similar intracellular sequences and respond to aggregation through a nonreceptor tyrosine kinase-dependent pathway. The mechanism by which receptor aggregation leads to cell activation is poorly understood, but recent experiments with chimeric receptors and kinases have begun to simplify the analysis.
