SummaryA major proportion of CD5+ B lymphocytes are committed to the production of a discrete type of antibody that is polyreactive. Polyreactive antibodies appear to use selected V and, perhaps, D gene segments, mostly in unmutated configuration. They generally display relatively low affinity for different antigens and are often part of the primary ...

Glucose-dependent de Novo Lipogenesis in B Lymphocytes
Background: The metabolic requirements underlying B lymphocyte differentiation are poorly understood. Results: Differentiation is accompanied by glucose metabolism into fatty acid and cholesterol synthesis, mediated by ATP-citrate lyase (ACLY ...

Randomly Evolving Idiotypic Networks: Structural Properties and Architecture
We consider a minimalistic dynamic model of the idiotypic network of B-lymphocytes. A network node represents a population of B-lymphocytes of the same specificity (idiotype), which is encoded by a bitstring.

Fludarabine inhibits KV1.3 currents in human B lymphocytes [PDF]
Fludarabine (F-ara-A) is a purine analog commonly used in the treatment of indolent B cell malignancies that interferes with different aspects of DNA and RNA synthesis. KV1.3 K+ channels are membrane proteins involved in the maintenance of K+ homeostasis

REGULATION OF PERIPHERAL B-LYMPHOCYTE DIFFERENTIATION IN RECURRENT MISCARRIAGE
The important role of immune disorders in recurrent miscarriage has been proven. Clarification of the character of B-lymphocyte differentiation and its regulation factors in women with threatened miscarriage and recurrent miscarriage in history is an ...

The dual nature of TDC – bridging dendritic and T cells in immunity
TDC are hematopoietic cells combining dendritic and T cell features. They reach secondary lymphoid organs (SLOs) and peripheral organs (liver and lungs) after FLT3‐dependent development in the bone marrow and maturation in the thymus. TDC are activated and enriched in SLOs upon viral infection, suggesting that they might play unique immune roles, since

An improved method on stimulated T-lymphocytes to functionally characterize novel and known LDLR mutations. [PDF]
The main causes of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) are mutations in LDL receptor (LDLR) gene. Functional studies are necessary to demonstrate the LDLR function impairment caused by mutations and would be useful as a diagnostic tool if they allow ...

MicroRNA Activity in B Lymphocytes [PDF]
Gene expression regulation by miRNAs has been reported to control key aspects of B cell differentiation and function (Chen et al., Science 303:83-86, 2004; Xiao et al., Cell 131:146-159, 2007; O'Carroll et al., Genes Dev. 21:1999-2004, 2007; Koralov et al.

B lymphocytes are the effectors of humoral immunity, providing defense against pathogens through different functions including antibody production. B cells constitute approximately 15% of peripheral blood leukocytes and arise from hemopoietic stem cells ...

In vivo IL‐10 produced by tissue‐resident tolDC is involved in maintaining/inducing tolerance. Depending on the agent used for ex vivo tolDC generation, cells acquire common features but prime T cells towards anergy, FOXP3+ Tregs, or Tr1 cells according to the levels of IL‐10 produced. Ex vivo‐induced tolDC were administered to patients to re‐establish/
