Clonal Memory
نویسندگان
چکیده
A single clone of B cells producing anti-DNP antibody recognizable by the isoelectric-focusing spectrum has been used, in a double transfer system, to study clonal memory. Trasnsferable B memory develops between 4 and 7 days after the first transfer with antigen. B-memory cells thus proliferate before or concomitantly with antibody-forming cells.

Proliferation of Antibody in Clonal Selection Algorithm with Immunological Memory Cell
The clonal selection principle explains the basic features of an adaptive immune response to a antigenic stimulus. It established the idea that only those cells that recognize the antigens are selected to proliferate and differentiate. This paper explains a computational implementation of the clonal selection principle that explicitly takes into account the affinity maturation of the immune res...
متن کاملT cell renewal rates, telomerase, and telomere length shortening.
Measurements on the average telomere lengths of normal human naive and memory T cells suggested that 1) naive and memory human T cells have similar division rates, and 2) that the difference between naive and memory cells reflects the degree of clonal expansion during normal immune reactions. Here we develop mathematic models describing how the population average of telomere length depends on t...
متن کاملT Memory Cells: Quality not Quantity
Immunological memory to pathogens is associated with clonal expansion and heightened responsiveness of antigen-specific T cells. Recent work emphasizes that, for efficient protective immunity, qualitative changes in T memory cells are vitally important.
متن کاملSustained response initiation is required for T cell clonal expansion but not for effector or memory development in vivo.
The factors determining whether an immune response is productive are poorly understood. To understand the circumstances affecting the early stage of the immune response which determine whether memory is generated, the CD8 T cell response was mapped in detail following immunization with live or heat-killed bacteria. Our results demonstrate that even in response to a weak immunogen, functional me...
متن کاملNaive and memory CD4+ T cell survival controlled by clonal abundance.
Immunity to a plethora of microbes depends on a diverse repertoire of naïve lymphocytes and the production of long-lived memory cells. We present evidence here that low clonal abundance in a polyclonal repertoire favors the survival and activation of naïve CD4(+) T cells as well as the survival of their memory cell progeny. The inverse relation between clonal frequency and survival suggests tha...
