Silent development of memory progenitor B cells.
T cell-dependent immune responses generate long-lived plasma cells and memory B cells, both of which express hypermutated Ab genes. The relationship between these cell types is not entirely understood. Both appear to emanate from the germinal center reaction, but it is unclear whether memory cells evolve while obligatorily generating plasma cells by siblings under all circumstances. In the expe...
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 کاملB lymphocyte development in rabbit: progenitor B cells and waning of B lymphopoiesis.
In mammals that use gut-associated lymphoid tissues for expansion and somatic diversification of the B cell repertoire, B lymphopoiesis occurs early in ontogeny and does not appear to continue throughout life. In these species, including sheep, rabbit, and cattle, little is known about the pathway of B cell development and the time at which B lymphopoiesis wanes. We examined rabbit bone marrow ...
متن کاملDevelopment of Erythroid Progenitor Cells
Erythropoietin (EP), insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) and stem cell factor (SCF) each reduce apoptosis of human erythroid progenitor cells. To determine if these growth factors have additional roles in stimulating erythropoiesis, the proliferation, maturation, and survival of highly purified human erythroid colony-forming cells (ECFCs) were studied during the application of different combin...
متن کاملHuman IgM+CD27+ B cells: memory B cells or "memory" B cells?
Memory B cells are generated in germinal centers (GC) and contribute to serological immunity by rapidly differentiating into plasma cells. Human memory B cells can be identified by the expression of CD27. These cells exhibit more rapid responses than naive (CD27-) B cells following stimulation in vitro, consistent with the heightened kinetics of secondary responses in vivo. CD27+ B cells expres...
