B Cells and B Cell Depletion in Autoimmunity and Atherosclerosis [PDF]

open access: yesLife
Although previously B cells had been underestimated in comparison to T cells in their role in autoimmunity, now, their impact is well established. Via secretion of autoantibodies, presentation of autoantigens, regulation of antigen processing and presentation, and release of inflammatory cytokines, B cells can mediate cytotoxicity and lead to organ ...

IgM-producing tumors in the BALB/c mouse: a model for B-cell maturation [PDF]

open access: yes, 1974
Five adjuvant induced BALB/c tumors producing IgM—McPc 1748, W 3469, TEPC 183, McPc 774, and Y 5781—were characterized morphologically by electron microscopy, analysis of the distribution of surface-bound and intracytoplasmic IgM using immunofluorescence,

Interferon-α promotes HLA-B-restricted presentation of conventional and alternative antigens in human pancreatic β-cells [PDF]

open access: yes
Interferon (IFN)-α is the earliest cytokine signature observed in individuals at risk for type 1 diabetes (T1D), but the effect of IFN-α on the antigen repertoire of HLA Class I (HLA-I) in pancreatic β-cells is unknown.

Ten-year experience with rituximab for induction and maintenance therapy in patients with ANCA-associated systemic vasculitis

open access: yesСовременная ревматология, 2020
Rituximab (RTM), a monoclonal antibody against CD20+ receptors on the membrane of B-cells, is becoming increasingly important for the induction and maintenance treatment of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated systemic vasculitis (ANCA ...

Stromal Cells Attract B‐Cell Progenitors to Promote B‐Cell–B‐Cell Contact and Maturation [PDF]

open access: yesScandinavian Journal of Immunology, 2005
AbstractThe in vitro differentiation of B‐lineage progenitors into Ig‐secreting mature B cells has classically required a co‐culture system containing lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and stromal cells. We have previously showed that B‐lineage progenitors cultured in round‐bottomed wells can mature and secrete immunoglobulin M (IgM) on par with cultures ...

Tolerance without clonal expansion: self-antigen-expressing B cells program self-reactive T cells for future deletion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
B cells have been shown in various animal models to induce immunological tolerance leading to reduced immune responses and protection from autoimmunity.

Prevention of arthritis by interleukin 10-producing B cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
In this study we have shown that activation of arthritogenic splenocytes with antigen and agonistic anti-CD40 gives raise to a B cell population that produce high levels of interleukin (IL)-10 and low levels of interferon (IFN)-{gamma}. Transfer of these

Conditional immortalization of human B cells by CD40 ligation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
It is generally assumed that human differentiated cells have a limited life-span and proliferation capacity in vivo, and that genetic modifications are a prerequisite for their immortalization in vitro.

B cells and cancer [PDF]

open access: yesCancer Cell, 2021
Tumor-infiltrating B cells complement T cell-mediated antitumor immunity. A panel of experts share their views on the complexity of B cells within the tumor microenvironment, the variety of mechanisms by which these cells control tumor growth, their organization in tertiary lymphoid structures, and their association with immunotherapy response.

Th17 effector cells support B bell responses outside of germinal centres [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Th17 cells are pro-inflammatory CD4+T cells, which are important in immune responses against fungal pathogens and extracellular bacteria and have also been implicated in various autoimmune syndromes.
