B Cells in Rheumatoid Arthritis:Pathogenic Mechanisms and Treatment Prospects

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2021
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a common, chronic, systemic autoimmune disease, and its clinical features are the proliferation of joint synovial tissue, the formation of pannus and the destruction of cartilage.

Systemic Sclerosis and Atherosclerosis: Potential Cellular Biomarkers and Mechanisms

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioscience-Scholar, 2023
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare systemic autoimmune disease of unknown etiology, which is characterized by endothelial dysfunction, pathologic vasculopathy, and increased tissue fibrosis. Traditionally, SSc has been regarded as a prototypical fibrotic

Human IgM+CD27+ B Cells: Memory B Cells or “Memory” B Cells? [PDF]

open access: yesThe 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 ...

B cells are associated with survival and immunotherapy response in sarcoma

open access: yesNature, 2020
Soft-tissue sarcomas represent a heterogeneous group of cancer, with more than 50 histological subtypes1,2. The clinical presentation of patients with different subtypes is often atypical, and responses to therapies such as immune checkpoint blockade ...

Regulatory B cells, A to Z

open access: yesAllergy. European Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 2021
B cells play a central role in the immune system through the production of antibodies. During the past two decades, it has become increasingly clear that B cells also have the capacity to regulate immune responses through mechanisms that extend beyond ...

B-1 Cell Heterogeneity and the Regulation of Natural and Antigen-Induced IgM Production. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
A small subset of B cells, termed B-1 cells, with developmental origins, phenotypes, and functions that are distinct from those of conventional B cells exist in mice. It contributes the vast majority of spontaneously produced "natural" IgM.

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 ...

B Cell Immunosenescence

open access: yesAnnual 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.

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.
