Appearance of peripheral blood plasma cells and memory B cells in a primary and secondary immune response in humans.
In humans, the kinetics of the appearance of memory B cells and plasma cells during primary immunization are not well defined. In this study, we assessed the primary B-cell response of rabies-antigen naive volunteers during a 3-dose course of rabies vaccine compared with the B-cell response to a booster dose of rabies vaccine given to previously immunized volunteers. After a single dose of vacc...
متن کاملEvaluation of Antibody Response to Polysaccharide Vaccine and Switched Memory B Cells in Pediatric Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Background/Aims: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic disease of the gastrointestinal tract, whose etiologies are still unknown. This study was performed to evaluate the humoral immune response in terms of B cell functions in selected IBD patients. Methods: Eighteen pediatric patients with IBD, including 12 cases of ulcerative colitis (UC) and six with Crohn disease (CD), were enrolled...
متن کاملB cells - ontogenesis and immune memory development.
Functional diversity in the distinct developmental stages as well as anti-pathogen effectiveness and memory functionality make B cells unique and attractive object of physiology studies of the immune system. B cells are produced throughout the life of an organism, originate from the hematopoietic stem cells before birth and continue to differentiate to terminal stages. Over the past decade, the...
متن کاملThe factors influencing the immune response to hepatitis B vaccine and persistence of the protection.
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and its sequelae which include cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma is a major public health problem throught the world.The WHO strategy for effective control of HBV infection is vaccination with the surface antigen of virus(HBsAg).The results obtained from a large number of studies demonstrated that the vaccine induces a protective antibody resonse (anti-HB...
متن کاملDistribution of Circulating Immune Cells in Responder and Non-Responder Individuals to Hepatitis B Vaccine
Unresponsiveness to hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) has been shown to be associated with dysfunction of the presenting cells (APC) and defect in the specific B-lymphocyte and/or T-lymphocyte repertoires. Direct determination of the frequency of specific T-lymphocytes together with complementary analysis of the naive circulating immune cells could provide valuable information about the cel...
