Human IgM+CD27+ B Cells: Memory B Cells or “Memory” B Cells? [PDF]
The Journal of Immunology, 2007 Abstract Memory B cells are generated in germinal centers (GC) and contribute to serological immunity by rapidly differentiating into plasma cells. Human memory B cells can be identified by the expression of CD27. These cells exhibit more rapid responses than naive (CD27−) B cells following stimulation in vitro, consistent with the ...

Annual Review of Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020 Innate and adaptive immune responses decline with age, leading to greater susceptibility to infectious diseases and reduced responses to vaccines. Diseases are more severe in old than in young individuals and have a greater impact on health outcomes such as morbidity, disability, and mortality.

Functional characterization of reappearing B cells after anti-CD20 treatment of CNS autoimmune disease. [PDF]
, 2018 The anti-CD20 antibody ocrelizumab, approved for treatment of multiple sclerosis, leads to rapid elimination of B cells from the blood. The extent of B cell depletion and kinetics of their recovery in different immune compartments is largely unknown ...

Tolerance without clonal expansion: Self-antigen-expressing B cells program self-reactive T cells for future deletion [PDF]
, 2008 B cells have been shown in various animal models to induce immunological tolerance leading to reduced immune responses and protection from autoimmunity.

Sequential induction of NF-κB/Rel family proteins during B-cell terminal differentiation [PDF]
, 1994 The NF-kappa B/Rel family of at least five transcription factor polypeptides is thought to function both as a developmental regulator in B cells and as a rapid response system in all cells. To examine this notion in more detail, we determined the protein

Atypical chemokine receptor 4 shapes activated B cell fate [PDF]
, 2018 Activated B cells can initially differentiate into three functionally distinct fates-early plasmablasts (PBs), germinal center (GC) B cells, or early memory B cells-by mechanisms that remain poorly understood.

Acute disruption of bone marrow B lymphopoiesis and apoptosis of transitional and marginal zone B cells in the spleen following a blood-stage Plasmodium chabaudi infection in mice [PDF]
, 2011 B cells and antibodies are essential for the protective immune response against a blood-stagePlasmodiuminfection. Although extensive research has focused on memory as well as plasma B-cell responses during infection, little is known about how malaria ...

The Journal of Immunology, 2006 AbstractCD5+ B cells have attracted considerable interest because of their association with self-reactivity, autoimmunity, and leukemia. In mice, CD5+ B cells are readily generated from fetal/neonatal precursors, but inefficiently from precursors in adult.

MicroRNA-155 influences B-cell function through PU.1 in rheumatoid arthritis [PDF]
, 2016 MicroRNA-155 (miR-155) is an important regulator of B cells in mice. B cells have a critical role in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Here we show that miR-155 is highly expressed in peripheral blood B cells from RA patients compared with ...
