Prolonged antigen persistence within nonterminal late endocytic compartments of antigen-specific B lymphocytes.

Although Ag-specific B lymphocytes can process Ag and express peptide-class II complexes as little as 1 h after Ag exposure, it requires 3-5 days for the immune system to develop a population of Ag-specific effector CD4 T lymphocytes to interact with these complexes. Presently, it is unclear how B cells maintain the expression of cell surface antigenic peptide-class II complexes until effector ...

Separation of Antigen-specific Lymphocytes

Lymphocytes are heterogeneous in structure and function . A direct approach to analyze the complexity of the immune system is to separate its key components and to study their properties . Various techniques have been developed for fractionation of lymphocyte subpopulations based on differences in density, size, adherence properties, or electrophoretic mobility (for review see 1) . However, the...

Epitope-directed processing of specific antigen by B lymphocytes

Proteolytic processing of specific antigen was studied using Epstein Barr virus transformed B-lymphoblastoid cells expressing membrane IgG against tetanus toxin. As previously reported (Watts, C., and H.W. Davidson. 1988. EMBO (Eur. Mol. Biol. Organ.) J. 7:1937-1945), receptor-mediated endocytosis of monovalent antigen bound at 0 degrees C began immediately upon shifting the cells to 37 degrees...

Identification, purification, and characterization of antigen-activated and antigen-specific human B lymphocytes

Following immunization with PPS, there is a transient but considerable enrichment in the peripheral blood of activated PPS-specific B cells. The activated cells are large, 4F2 positive, surface IgG positive and IgD negative, responsive to BCGF but refractory to anti-mu or SAC. The analysis of B lymphocyte physiology in terms of activation states which have precise signal requirements for the tr...

Age Specific Reference Levels of Serum Prostate-Specific Antigen, Prostate Volume and Prostate Specific Antigen Density in Healthy Iranian Men

Background: It is relevant to highlight that there is not a precise and perfect report on either 95 percentile value (upper limit of normal range) or on appropriate reference intervals for serum PSA in Iranian population. Objective: To determine age-specific reference ranges for serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) concentration and PSA density (PSAD) and prostate volumes in a population of he...
