Interferon‐Mediated Regulation of Memory B Cell Identity and Function
ABSTRACT Memory B cells are essential for long‐lasting immunity induced by both encountered pathogens and vaccines. Functional diversity within the memory B cell pool is established through interactions between memory B cells and the environment in which they develop and reside.

Hyper IgM syndrome (HIGM) is a heterogeneous group of primary immunodeficiencies characterized by impaired immunoglobulin class switching, leading to elevated IgM levels and deficiencies in other antibody isotypes.

ABSTRACT Age‐associated B cells (ABCs) are a dynamic B cell subset whose identity, development, and function are fundamentally shaped by the tissue microenvironments in which they reside. Primarily defined by expression of CD11c and T‐bet, ABCs arise across diverse contexts, including aging, infection, autoimmunity, and cancer, yet exhibit striking ...

ABSTRACT A 69‐year‐old male patient presented with weight loss and proteinuria. His medical history included papillary thyroid carcinoma. Laboratory findings showed proteinuria and high κ light chain levels in both urine and serum. Bone marrow aspiration revealed plasma cell myeloma of the IgA‐κ type.

Activation-induced deaminase (AID) mutates immunoglobulin genes to initiate antibody diversification by class switch recombination and somatic hypermutation but can also target non-immunoglobulin loci with oncogenic consequences.

Although somatic mutation contributes to the diversity of only a minor fraction of B cells in mouse spleen or blood, its contribution to the diversity of serum immunoglobulin is unknown. We have devised an immunoassay to monitor mutated antibodies in serum using a monoclonal antibody that recognizes a VK only when mutated at its major intrinsic hot ...

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses some of the recent work that has addressed the mechanisms of these two processes, with particular emphasis on the use of engineered constructs, to identify genetic elements critical to activation or targeting. Somatic hypermutation introduces single-base changes in the rearranged variable regions, resulting in

Onychomadesis in a Patient with Immunoglobulin Class Switch Recombination Deficiency
Immunoglobulin class switch recombination deficiencies (Ig CSR deficiencies) or Hyper IgM syndromes (HIGM) are a group of primary immunodeficiency diseases, characterized by defective CD40 signaling of B cells resulting into a CSR and a somatic ...
