Clinical and Experimental Immunology, 2022
The importance of B cells and their critical role in the maintenance of health through generation of antibody-mediated immune protection is undoubted. However, the differences between the responses of B cells with different surface phenotypes in different microanatomical sites as well as diversity in B-cell function outside antibody production are just

Rheumatic Disease Clinics of North America, 2004
In recent years, our understanding of B-cell biology and the roles of B cells in normal immune responses and autoimmunity has increased dramatically. We no longer think of B cells simply as antibody factories. It is clear that these diverse and exquisitely regulated cells may contribute in a multitude of ways to immune responses.

Mucosal B cells are crucial for host defense. The mucosal surfaces exceed 300 m2 in humans and represent indeed the largest part of the body in which immune responses take place daily. Mucosal B cells, located in the gut, respiratory, and urogenital mucosae as well as in skin, salivary, mammary, and lacrimal glands, are very important to protect ...

Nature Reviews Immunology, 2015
The immune system can remember a previously experienced pathogen and can evoke an enhanced response to reinfection that depends on memory lymphocyte populations. Recent advances in tracking antigen-experienced memory B cells have revealed the existence of distinct classes of cells that have considerable functional differences. Some of these differences

Current Opinion in Immunology, 1992
Discrimination between self and non-self in humoral immunity is mediated in part by elimination or inactivation of self-reactive B-cell clones. This type of repertoire censoring requires that self-reactive B cells make a choice between these and alternative cellular fates.

Immunology Today, 1997
Abstract Superantigens (SAgs) are characterized by their ability to interact with T- and B-cell antigen (Ag) receptors outside of the classical Ag-binding groove. Here, Gress Silverman discusses the molecular basis for the binding of B-cell SAgs, and how they may influence the acquisition of immunocompetence or contribute to the development of immune ...

The B cell population represents an extremely complex set of cells with respect to the existence of funclional and developmental cell subpopulations and their extremely diverse repertoire of antibody specificities. This article summarizes the key features of the ontogeny and developmental stages of murine B cells, the subjects of a recent extensive ...

The subunit structure of the B-cell antigen receptor (BCR) and its associated compartmentalization of function confer enormous flexibility for generating signals and directing these toward specific and divergent cell fate decisions. Like all the multichain immune recognition receptors discussed in this volume, assembly of these multi-unit complexes ...

B cell development and activation are accompanied by dynamic genetic alterations including V(D)J rearrangements and immunoglobulin-gene somatic hypermutation and class-switch recombination. Abnormalities in these genetic events can cause chromosomal translocations and genomic mutations, leading to altered expression and function of genes involved in B ...

Noncanonical B Cells: Characteristics of Uncharacteristic B Cells
The Journal of Immunology, 2023Abstract B lymphocytes were originally described as a cell type uniquely capable of secreting Abs. The importance of T cell help in Ab production was revealed soon afterward. Following these seminal findings, investigators made great strides in delineating steps in the conventional pathway that B cells follow to produce high-affinity Abs.
