B cells express various inhibitory co-receptors including CD22, CD72, and Siglec-G. These receptors contain immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibition motifs (ITIMs) in the cytoplasmic region.

A survey of the adaptive immune genes of the polka-dot batfish Ogcocephalus cubifrons
Background The anglerfish, belonging to the teleost order Lophiiformes, are a diverse and species-rich group of fish that are known to exhibit a number of unique morphological, reproductive and immunological adaptations.

Superantigen Recognition and Interactions: Functions, Mechanisms and Applications
Superantigens are unconventional antigens which recognise immune receptors outside their usual recognition sites e.g. complementary determining regions (CDRs), to elicit a response within the target cell.

Modeling viral coevolution: HIV multi-clonal persistence and competition dynamics [PDF]
The coexistence of different viral strains (quasispecies) within the same host are nowadays observed for a growing number of viruses, most notably HIV, Marburg and Ebola, but the conditions for the formation and survival of new strains have not yet been ...

B cell antigen receptor signaling and internalization are mutually exclusive events.
Engagement of the B cell antigen receptor initiates two concurrent processes, signaling and receptor internalization. While both are required for normal humoral immune responses, the relationship between these two processes is unknown.

Modern biotherapy has been in use for some 30 years. The first types of biotherapy were nonspecific stimulators of the immune response, but advances in genetic engineering are allowing the mass production of pure biological products which are now being ...

Memory control by the B cell antigen receptor
SummaryThe generation of memory B cells (MBCs) that have undergone immunoglobulin class switching from IgM, which dominates primary antibody responses, to other immunoglobulin isoforms is a hallmark of immune memory. Hence, humoral immunological memory is characterized by the presence of serum immunoglobulins of IgG subtypes known as the γ‐globulin ...

Expression of DC-SIGN and DC-SIGNR on human sinusoidal endothelium: a role for capturing hepatitis C virus particles. [PDF]
Hepatic sinusoidal endothelial cells are unique among endothelial cells in their ability to internalize and process a diverse range of antigens. DC-SIGNR, a type 2 C-type lectin expressed on liver sinusoids, has been shown to bind with high affinity to ...

The yin and yang of Fcγ receptors in ITP [PDF]
The Fcγ receptors contribute to the susceptibility to autoimmune diseases such as ITP in several ways: (1) they modulate dendritic cell antigen processing and presentation, (2) they modulate antibody production by B cells, and (3) they participate in ...

Isotype Specific Assembly of B Cell Antigen Receptors and Synergism With Chemokine Receptor CXCR4
Expression of the membrane-bound form of the immunoglobulin (Ig) as part of the antigen receptor is indispensable for both the development and the effector function of B cells.
