An analysis of B cell selection mechanisms in germinal centers.
Affinity maturation of antibodies during immune responses is achieved by multiple rounds of somatic hypermutation and subsequent preferential selection of those B cells that express B cell receptors with improved binding characteristics for the antigen. The mechanism underlying B cell selection has not yet been defined. By employing an agent-based model, we show that for physiologically reasona...
متن کاملInduction of long-lived germinal centers associated with persisting antigen after viral infection
Vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) induces an early T cell-independent neutralizing lgM response that is followed by a long-lived, T cell-dependent lgG response. We used the specific amplification factor of several 100x of VSV-virions for immunohistology to analyze the localization of VSV-specific B cells at different time points after immunization. At the peak of the IgM response (day 4), VSV-sp...
متن کاملRelationship of Germinal Centers in Lymphoid Tissue to Immunological Memory
The fate, proliferation, and developmental potentialities of cell suspensions made from white pulp containing large germinal centers have been studied in the mouse by transfer of cells labeled with thymidine-(3)H to lethally irradiated, syngeneic recipients. Radioautographic analyses were made using both smears and sections of a variety of tissues. Thymidine-(3)H-labeling patterns of white pulp...
متن کاملIntermediate filaments and disease: mutations that cripple cell strength
T HERE are nearly 50 different intermediate filament (IF) proteins of five major types (for reviews, see references 16, 23, and 59). Four of the IF types are cytoplasrnic, and they are expressed differentially in all tissues at various stages of embryonic and adult development. Type V IF proteins are the nuclear lamins, which form a fibrous meshwork on the inner surface of the nuclear membrane,...
متن کاملT cell-dendritic cell immunological synapses.
Dendritic cells (DCs) are myeloid lineage cells that are imprinted by their environment and that mature in response to microbial products. A crucial role of the DC is to impart this context-specific information to T cells as well as to present self and foreign MHC-peptide complexes through formation of an immunological synapse. The structure of the T cell-DC immunological synapse departs from t...
