Antigen presentation to B cells [PDF]
F1000 Biology Reports, 2010 B cells are capable of mounting responses to a bewildering range of potentially pathogenic antigens through the production of high-affinity antibodies and the establishment of immunological memory. Thus, regulated B-cell activation is critical for protection against a variety of bacterial and viral infections, as well as cancers.

The Antigen Presenting Cells Instruct Plasma Cell Differentiation
Frontiers in Immunology, 2014 The professional antigen presenting cells (APCs), including many subsets of dendritic cells and macrophages, not only mediate prompt but nonspecific response against microbes, but also bridge the antigen-specific adaptive immune response through antigen ...

Impact of Gold Nanoparticles on the Functions of Macrophages and Dendritic Cells
Cells, 2021 Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have demonstrated outstanding performance in many biomedical applications. Their safety is recognised; however, their effects on the immune system remain ill defined. Antigen-presenting cells (APCs) are immune cells specialised

Recent Advances in Nanovaccines Using Biomimetic Immunomodulatory Materials
Pharmaceutics, 2019 The development of vaccines plays a vital role in the effective control of several fatal diseases. However, effective prophylactic and therapeutic vaccines have yet to be developed for completely curing deadly diseases, such as cancer, malaria, HIV, and ...

Role of B cells as antigen presenting cells
Frontiers in Immunology, 2022 B cells have been long studied for their role and function in the humoral immune system. Apart from generating antibodies and an antibody-mediated memory response against pathogens, B cells are also capable of generating cell-mediated immunity.

Human dendritic cell functional specialization in steady state and inflammation
Frontiers in Immunology, 2014 Dendritic cells (DC) represent a heterogeneous population of antigen-presenting cells that are crucial in initiating and shaping immune responses. Although all DC are capable of antigen uptake, processing and presentation to T cells, DC subtypes differ ...

Characterization of respiratory dendritic cells from equine lung tissues
BMC Veterinary Research, 2017 Background Dendritic cells (DCs) are professional antigen-presenting cells that have multiple subpopulations with different phenotypes and immune functions. Previous research demonstrated that DCs have strong potential for anti-viral defense in the host.

Natural Killer Cells in Paediatric Soft Tissue Sarcomas: A Systematic Review
Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Paediatric soft tissue sarcomas (pSTS) are a rare and heterogeneous group of malignant tumours arising in tissues of mesenchymal origin. The role of natural killer (NK) cells in pSTS remains poorly understood, with evidence fragmented across small preclinical studies and early‐phase clinical trials.
