Distribution of rotavirus-specific memory B cells in gut-associated lymphoid tissue after primary immunization.
We found previously that mice inoculated orally with simian rotavirus strain RRV developed virus-specific memory B cell responses 16 weeks after immunization that were greater than those found 6 weeks after immunization. Memory B cell responses were defined as the quantity of virus-specific IgA detected in small intestinal lamina propria (LP) fragment cultures of immunized mice at various inter...
متن کاملDetection of apoptosis-specific autoantibodies directed against granzyme B-induced cleavage fragments of the SS-B (La) autoantigen in sera from patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome.
The objective of this study was to detect autoantibodies against granzyme B cleavage products in sera from patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome (SS). Cell lysates derived from human salivary gland (HSG) cell lines were incubated with granzyme B. The susceptibility to the generation of cleavage fragments of SS autoantigens was assayed by immunoblotting using sera from 57 primary SS patients,...
متن کاملCD21int CD23+ follicular B cells express antigen‐specific secretory IgM mRNA as primary and memory responses
CD21int CD23+ IgM+ mouse follicular B cells comprise the bulk of the mature B-cell compartment, but it is not known whether these cells contribute to the humoral antibody response. We show using a direct RT-PCR method for antigen-specific VH, that FACS-sorted mouse CD21int CD23+ B cells express specific secretory IgM VH transcripts in response to immunization and also exhibit a memory response....
متن کاملPrimary human cytomegalovirus infection induces the expansion of virus-specific activated and atypical memory B cells.
BACKGROUND Although neutralizing antibodies play a central role in the control of cytomegalovirus (CMV) dissemination, little is known about the response of B lymphocytes to primary human CMV infection. METHODS The proportion, phenotype, specificity, and functionality of B-cell subsets were studied in a cohort of pregnant women with primary CMV infection. CMV-seronegative pregnant women, as w...
متن کاملAutoantigen-Specific Immunotherapy
The incidence of type 1 diabetes (T1D) is increasing dramatically and new treatment modalities are needed urgently. Arising from autoimmune destruction of the pancreatic ┚cells, T1D manifests itself when less than 10-20% of functional ┚-cells remain in the islets and is characterized as a disorder of glucose regulation due to the insufficient production of insulin. Insulin is a hormone secreted...
