Term Merge GO:0042570 and GO:0019815

The terms GO:0042570 immunoglobulin complex, membrane bound and GO:0019815 B-cell receptor complex are completely synonymous. I propose to merge GO:0019815 to GO:0042570.

I suggest the following definition for the merged term:

A membrane-bound antigen receptor complex consisting in its basic form of an antigen-binding subunit (the membrane immunoglobulin or mIg), comprised of two identical heavy chains and two identical light chains held together by disulfide bonds, and a signaling subunit, a heterodimer of the Ig-alpha and Ig-beta proteins.

The merged term should retain all the parents of the original terms.
