Follicular lymphoma regulatory T-cell origin and function
IntroductionFollicular Lymphoma (FL) results from the malignant transformation of germinal center (GC) B cells. FL B cells display recurrent and diverse genetic alterations, some of them favoring their direct interaction with their cell microenvironment,

Immunological dysregulation of follicular helper T cells, follicular regulatory T cells, and follicular cytotoxic T cells is associated with disease activity and identifies exploratory immune patterns in rheumatoid arthritis [PDF]
BackgroundThe onset and progression of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are linked to autoantibody production driven by dysregulated germinal center (GC) responses. Follicular helper T cells (Tfh), follicular regulatory T cells (Tfr), and follicular cytotoxic T

Imbalance of Circulatory T Follicular Helper and T Follicular Regulatory Cells in Patients with ANCA-Associated Vasculitis [PDF]
Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody- (ANCA-) associated vasculitis (AAV) is characterized by small-vessel inflammation in association with autoantibodies. Balance between T follicular helper (Tfh) cells and T follicular regulatory (Tfr) cells is critical

The role of regulatory T cells and follicular T helper cells in HBV infection
Hepatitis B has become one of the major global health threats, especially in developing countries and regions. Hepatitis B virus infection greatly increases the risk for liver diseases such as cirrhosis and cancer.

T helper1/T helper2 cells and resistance/susceptibility to Leishmania infection : is this paradigm still relevant? [PDF]
Work in large part on Leishmania major in the 1980s identified two distinct apparently counter-regulatory CD4 T cell populations, T helper (h)1 and Th2, that controlled resistance/susceptibility to infection respectively.

T follicular helper cells, T follicular regulatory cells and autoimmunity. [PDF]
Abstract CD4 + T follicular helper (Tfh) cells are recognized as a distinct T-cell subset, which provides help for germinal center (GC) formation, B-cell development and affinity maturation, and immunoglobulin class switching, as an indispensable part of adaptive immunity.

T Follicular Regulatory Cells and Antibody Responses in Transplantation. [PDF]
Abstract De novo donor-specific antibody (DSA) formation is a major problem in transplantation, and associated with long-term graft decline and loss as well as sensitization, limiting future transplant options. Forming high-affinity, long-lived antibody responses involves a process called the germinal center (GC) reaction, and requires ...

T follicular regulatory cells: Guardians of the germinal centre? [PDF]
AbstractIt is a central tenet of the clonal selection theory, that lymphocyte repertoires are tolerized to self‐antigens during their ontogeny. Germinal centres are the sites in secondary lymphoid tissues where B cells undergo affinity maturation and class‐switching to produce high‐affinity antibodies.

Follicular regulatory T cell in atherosclerosis [PDF]
Abstract Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease involving the infiltration of immune cells, such as monocytes/macrophages, neutrophils, T cells, and B cells, into the inner layer of vessel walls. T and B cell functions in the process of atherogenesis, as well as their mutual regulation, have been investigated but several ...

The impact of molecular alterations and the immune microenvironment on the natural history of Follicular Lymphoma including transformation to Diffuse Large B cell Lymphoma [PDF]
PhDThe natural history of follicular lymphoma is heterogeneous with numerous relapses and remissions over many years. A substantial number of patients suffer an aggressive disease course with death due to disease within 5 years of diagnosis.
