B cells

The International Journal of Biochemistry & Cell Biology, 2005
B cells are an important component of adaptive immunity. They produce and secrete millions of different antibody molecules, each of which recognizes a different (foreign) antigen. The fact that humans express a very large repertoire of antibodies is due to the complex mechanism of V(D)J recombination of immunoglobulin (Ig) genes as well as other ...

Memory B cells

Nature Reviews Immunology, 2023
Recent advances in studies of immune memory in mice and humans have reinforced the concept that memory B cells play a critical role in protection against repeated infections, particularly from variant viruses. Hence, insights into the development of high-quality memory B cells that can generate broadly neutralizing antibodies that bind such variants ...

CD5 B cells and B-cell malignancies

Current Opinion in Hematology, 1999
Over the past year, progress has been made in understanding of the physiology and disease associations of CD5+ (B1) B cells, although their exact role in pathogenesis remains unclear. Earlier studies on the negative function of CD5 within the B-cell receptor complex have been substantiated, and it seems likely that soon the signaling pathways used by ...

Regulatory B Cells

2020
B cells are typically characterized by their ability to produce antibodies, function as secondary antigen-present cells, and produce various immunoregulatory cytokines. The regulatory B (Breg)-cell population is now widely accepted as an important modulatory component of the immune system that suppresses inflammation.

B-cell stimulation

Current Opinion in Immunology, 1995
Recent studies have identified CD40 ligand (CD40L) as the critical membrane-expressed molecule responsible for T cell dependent B-cell activation. CD40L co-operates with various cytokines to induce B-cell activation, proliferation, and immunoglobulin isotype switching.

Human B cells

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

B-cell biology

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.
