چکیده
We discuss the origin of two classes of germinal centers that have been observed during humoral immune responses: Some germinal centers develop very well and give rise to a large number of high affinity antibody producing plasma cells. Other germinal center reaction are very weak and the output production is practically absent. We propose an explanation for this nearly all-or-none behavior of germinal center reactions: The affinity of the seeder B-cells to the antigen is the critical parameter that determines the fate of the germinal center reaction. This hypothesis is verified in the framework of a space-time simulation of germinal center reactions.

The type of seeder cells determines the efficiency of germinal center reactions.
During humoral immune responses some germinal centers (GCs) develop very well and give rise to a large number of high affinity antibody producing plasma cells. Other GC reactions develop poorly, somatic mutation is reduced, and the output production is practically absent. This led to the hypothesis that two classes of GCs exist, and that GCs show an all-or-none behaviour. We investigate the rol...

Background: Nanosilver (NS) contains silver nanoparticles to control infections delivered from bacteria. The NS compounds as well as being toxic to prokaryotes are highly toxic to mammalian cells. The present study was evaluated the effect of colloidal NS on leydig cells glucose transporter type I (GLUT I) expression, serum level of testosterone, germinal cells RNA damage and spermiogenesis pro...

We review the mechanism of sequential right-handed neutrino dominance proposed in the framework of the type I seesaw mechanism to account for bi-large neutrino mixing and a neutrino mass hierarchy in a natural way. We discuss how sequential dominance may also be applied to the right-handed charged leptons, which alternatively allows bi-large lepton mixing from the charged lepton sector. We revi...
