Development and function of protective and pathologic memory CD4 T cells [PDF]
Immunological memory is one of the defining features of the adaptive immune system. As key orchestrators and mediators of immunity, CD4 T cells are central to the vast majority of adaptive immune responses.

FACS Staining for Follicular Helper T Cells
Germinal center is the primary site for B cells to undergo somatic hypermutation and class switching. A recently discovered subset of T cells known as T follicular helper (TFH) cells are essential for germinal center reaction and thus have been the ...

Prognostic information from nonmalignant and malignant lymphocytes in follicular lymphoma in relation to therapy [PDF]
Follicular lymphoma is the most common indolent lymphoma. It is composed of centrocytes and centroblasts, residing in follicles that also harbour nonmalignant immune and stroma cells.

Class-switched anti-insulin antibodies originate from unconventional antigen presentation in multiple lymphoid sites [PDF]
Autoantibodies to insulin are a harbinger of autoimmunity in type 1 diabetes in humans and in non-obese diabetic mice. To understand the genesis of these autoantibodies, we investigated the interactions of insulin-specific T and B lymphocytes using T ...

Immunological mechanism of IgG4-related disease
IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is an immune-mediated inflammatory disorder in multiple organs, characterized by abundant infiltration of IgG4-positive plasmacytes and fibrosis in the involved organs.

Antigen-presenting cells and antigen presentation in tertiary lymphoid organs [PDF]
Tertiary lymphoid organs (TLOs) form in territorialized niches of peripheral tissues characterized by the presence of antigens; however, little is known about mechanism(s) of antigen handling by ectopic lymphoid structures.

T follicular helper cell diversity and plasticity [PDF]
CD4(+) T helper (Th) cells play an instrumental role in orchestrating adaptive immune responses to invading pathogens through their ability to differentiate into specialized effector subsets. Part of this customized response requires the development of T follicular helper (Tfh) cells, which provide help to B cells for the generation of germinal centers

CD4 T lymphocyte autophagy is upregulated in the salivary glands of primary Sjögren’s syndrome patients and correlates with focus score and disease activity [PDF]
Background: Primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS) is a common chronic autoimmune disease characterized by lymphocytic infiltration of exocrine glands and peripheral lymphocyte perturbation.
