B cells and immunosenescence: a focus on IgG+IgD-CD27- (DN) B cells in aged humans.
Immunosenescence contributes to the decreased ability of the elderly to control infectious diseases, which is also reflected in their generally poor response to new antigens and vaccination. It is known that the T cell branch of the immune system is impaired in the elderly mainly due to expansion of memory/effector cells that renders the immune system less able to respond to new antigens. B lym...
متن کاملCutting edge: HIV-1 Tat protein differentially modulates the B cell response of naive, memory, and germinal center B cells.
Critical steps of B cell differentiation occur within lymphoid organs that are also major sites of HIV-1 replication. Because Tat can be released by infected cells, we investigated whether extracellular HIV-1 Tat modulates cell proliferation of B cells at critical stages of their differentiation. Here we show that extracellular Tat inhibited the proliferation of B cell receptor-triggered naive ...
متن کاملImmunophenotypic analysis of B cells in PNH: insights into the generation of circulating naive and memory B cells.
Peripheral blood B cells in patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) comprise variable mixtures of normal B cells produced before the onset of disease and glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-deficient B cells derived from the PNH hematopoietic stem cell. In a detailed phenotypic analysis of 29 patients with PNH, this study shows consistent phenotypic differences between PNH B cell...
متن کاملIntrinsic differences in the initiation of B cell receptor signaling favor responses of human IgG(+) memory B cells over IgM(+) naive B cells.
The acquisition of long-lived memory B cells (MBCs) is critical for the defense against many infectious diseases. Despite their importance, little is known about how Ags trigger human MBCs, even though our understanding of the molecular basis of Ag activation of B cells in model systems has advanced considerably. In this study, we use quantitative, high-resolution, live-cell imaging at the sing...
متن کاملSilencing of B Cell Receptor Signals in Human Naive B Cells
To identify changes in the regulation of B cell receptor (BCR) signals during the development of human B cells, we generated genome-wide gene expression profiles using the serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) technique for CD34(+) hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), pre-B cells, naive, germinal center (GC), and memory B cells. Comparing these SAGE profiles, genes encoding positive regulators ...
