IgM and IgD B cell receptors differentially respond to endogenous antigens and control B cell fate. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Naive B cells co-express two BCR isotypes, IgM and IgD, with identical antigen-binding domains but distinct constant regions. IgM but not IgD is downregulated on autoreactive B cells. Because these isotypes are presumed to be redundant, it is unknown how

The nuclear receptor LXRα controls the functional specialization of splenic macrophages. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Macrophages are professional phagocytic cells that orchestrate innate immune responses and have considerable phenotypic diversity at different anatomical locations. However, the mechanisms that control the heterogeneity of tissue macrophages are not well

HLA and immunodominance in viral infection: T-cell responses in protection and immunopathogenesis [PDF]

open access: yesMicrobiology Australia, 2021
The protective role of T cells in viral infection is well described. T cells generally mediate anti-viral immune responses via direct cytotoxicity and production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, by providing help to B cells and by promotion of memory ...

Fighting viral infections and virus-driven tumors with cytotoxic CD4+ T cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
CD4+ T cells have been and are still largely regarded as the orchestrators of immune responses, being able to differentiate into distinct T helper cell populations based on differentiation signals, transcription factor expression, cytokine secretion, and

Presensitization to Ascaris antigens promotes induction of mite-specific IgE upon mite antigen inhalation in mice

open access: yesAllergology International, 2016
Background: Patients with house dust mite (HDM) allergy or Ascariasis produce serum IgE specific to the antigens of HDM or nematode Ascaris, respectively.

Establishment of competitive binding assay to detect and differentiate hepatitis E virus infection

open access: yesAnnals of Hepatology, 2019
Introduction and Objectives: This study was undertaken to demonstrate a promising approach for detection and differentiation the serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) against hepatitis E virus (anti-HEV IgG) using a competitive binding assay established with ...

Regulated progression of B lymphocyte differentiation from cultured fetal liver. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1987
Lymphoid fetal liver cultures (LFLC) are long-term, nontransformed cultures of early B lymphoid lineage cells which appear developmentally blocked at the pre-B stage in vitro.

Mechanisms of autoantibody production in systemic lupus erythematosus

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2015
Autoantibodies against a panoply of self-antigens are seen in SLE, but only a few (anti-Sm/RNP, anti-Ro/La, anti-dsDNA) are common. The common lupus autoantigens are nucleic-acid complexes and levels of autoantibodies can be extraordinarily high.

Detection of antibodies to Sendai virus by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) [PDF]

open access: yes, 1979
An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection of antibodies to Sendai virus, a paramyxovirus, is described. The assay was found to be about 20-fold more sensitive than the hemagglutination inhibition assay.

Organoids in pediatric cancer research

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Organoid technology has revolutionized cancer research, yet its application in pediatric oncology remains limited. Recent advances have enabled the development of pediatric tumor organoids, offering new insights into disease biology, treatment response, and interactions with the tumor microenvironment.
