A critical role for the protein kinase PKK in the maintenance of recirculating mature B cells and the development of B1 cells

Highlights • We generated mice with PKK knockout in B cells. • PKK deficiency results in reduction of recirculating mature B cells. • PKK deficiency also leads to a decrease in peritoneal B1 cells. • PKK plays a critical role in BCR-mediated proliferation and survival of B cells.
