T cell immunity using transgenic B lymphocytes.
Adaptive immunity exists in all vertebrates and plays a defense role against microbial pathogens and tumors. T cell responses begin when precursor T cells recognize antigen on specialized antigen-presenting cells and differentiate into effector cells. Currently, dendritic cells are considered the only cells capable of stimulating T lymphocytes. Here, we show that mature naïve B lymphocytes can ...
متن کاملAPRIL modulates B and T cell immunity.
The TNF-like ligands APRIL and BLyS are close relatives and share the capacity to bind the receptors TACI and BCMA. BLyS has been shown to play an important role in B cell homeostasis and autoimmunity, but the biological role of APRIL remains less well defined. Analysis of T cells revealed an activation-dependent increase in APRIL mRNA expression. We therefore generated mice expressing APRIL as...
متن کاملRole of B lymphocytes in cell-mediated immunity. I. Requirement for T cells or T-cell products for antigen-induced B-cell activation
Although B lymphocytes can be triggered by B-cell mitogens and by certain other molecules to produce lymphokines, they do not produce lymphokines when stimulated with specific soluble protein antigens. We have investigated whether T-cell help would enable B cells to produce lymphokines when activated by antigens. Addition of small numbers of T cells to B-cell cultures resulted in significant pr...

متن کاملT-cell/b-cell Cooperation in Humoral Immunity
Adoptive transfer experiments illustrate the use of antibodies to cell surface markers in distinguishing the roles of different cell types in the CELL/CELL COOPERATION required for humoral immune responses. While the THYMUS is not itself a site of immune reactivity, it is the source of T-CELLS (“helper” TH-cells) which are required to cooperate with B-CELLS (the precursors of antibody-forming c...
