Crystalline silica activates the T-cell and the B-cell antigen receptor complexes and induces T-cell and B-cell proliferation

open access: yesAutoimmunity, 2019
Silicosis is an occupational fibrotic lung disease, which is associated with an increased incidence of autoimmune diseases. The effect of crystalline silica on the immune system is thought to be mediated by the antigen presenting cells.

Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy for B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma: opportunities and challenges

open access: yesDrugs in Context, 2019
B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is the most frequent hematologic malignancy. Despite the refinement of chemoimmunotherapy, a substantial number of patients experience chemorefractory disease.

B Cell Receptor and BAFF Receptor Signaling Regulation of B Cell Homeostasis [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Immunology, 2009
Abstract B lymphocyte homeostasis depends on tonic and induced BCR signaling and receptors sensitive to trophic factors, such as B cell-activating factor receptor (BAFF-R or BR3) during development and maintenance. This review will discuss growing evidence suggesting that the signaling mechanisms that maintain B cell survival and ...

The pre‐B cell receptor checkpoint

open access: yesFEBS Letters, 2010
B lymphocytes are essential antibody‐producing cells of the immune system. During the development of progenitor B cells to mature B cells that express a membrane‐bound antibody, the B cell receptor (BCR), the cells undergo selection at several checkpoints, which ensures that a diverse antibody repertoire is generated and that the BCRs recognise foreign‐

Automated high-throughput analysis of B cell spreading on immobilized antibodies with whole slide imaging

open access: yesCurrent Directions in Biomedical Engineering, 2015
Automated image processing methods enable objective, reproducible and high quality analysis of fluorescent cell images in a reasonable amount of time. Therefore, we propose the application of image processing pipelines based on established segmentation ...

B Cell Receptor Crosslinking Augments Germinal Center B Cell Selection when T Cell Help Is Limiting

open access: yesCell Reports, 2018
Summary: Antigen-dependent engagement of germinal center (GC) B cell receptors (BCRs) promotes antigen internalization and presentation for follicular helper T cells.

B Cell Receptor Signaling and Protein Kinase D2 Support Regulatory B Cell Function in Pancreatic Cancer

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
B cells can act as potent suppressors of anti-tumor T cell immunity, presenting a mechanism of resistance to immunotherapy. In pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, B cells can display a T cell-suppressive or regulatory phenotype centered on the expression ...

Regulation of B cell fate by chronic activity of the IgE B cell receptor

open access: yeseLife, 2016
IgE can trigger potent allergic responses, yet the mechanisms regulating IgE production are poorly understood. Here we reveal that IgE+ B cells are constrained by chronic activity of the IgE B cell receptor (BCR).

Method for B Cell Receptor Enrichment in Malignant B Cells. [PDF]

open access: yesCancers (Basel)
B cells are central to the adaptive immune response and provide long-lasting immunity after infection. B cell activation is mediated by the surface membrane-bound B cell receptor (BCR) following recognition of a specific antigen. The BCR has been challenging to analyse using mass spectrometry (MS) due to the difficulty of isolating and enriching this ...
