proteins which are likely to trigger innate immune responses in mice and man. Here we demonstrate that the Src-family protein tyrosine kinase Lyn, protein kinase C

and Erk2-specific mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase kinase (MEK) are essential and
probably functionally connected elements of the RP-105-mediated signaling cascade in B cells.
We also find that negative regulation of RP-105-mediated activation of MAP kinases by membrane immunoglobulin may account for the phenomenon of antigen receptor-mediated arrest
of RP-105-mediated B cell proliferation.
