Vol. 205 No. 6 1331-1342 www.jem.org/cgi/doi/10.1084/jem.20071555 1331 In humans, peripheral blood B cells expressing the CD27 marker and mutated Ig receptors are usually considered to be memory B cells generated in germinal centers (GCs) during immune responses to T-dependent (TD) antigens. In adults, approximately half of these CD27 + B cells are isotype-switched cells carrying surface IgG or IgA, the other half being IgM + IgD +

Somatic diversification in the absence of antigen-driven responses is the hallmark of the IgM+IgD+CD27+ B cell repertoire in infants
T cell-dependent immune responses develop soon after birth, whereas it takes 2 yr for humans to develop T cell-independent responses. We used this dissociation to analyze the repertoire diversification of IgM(+)IgD(+)CD27(+) B cells (also known as "IgM memory" B cells), comparing these cells with switched B cells in children <2 yr of age, with the aim of determining whether these two subsets ar...

Introduction & Objective: Fusariosis is one of the most important systemic mycosis, often caused by Fusarium Solani and resist to antifungal drugs. The appropriate F. Solani antigen preparation could be useful in serodiagnosis of fusariosis. Materials & Methods : The extraction procedure was preformed using F.Solani strain 7419 UAMH. The antigenic extract was obtained through grinding of fu...
متن کاملDrag Reduction by Surfactant Solutions in Gravity Driven Flow Systems
Efflux time measurements are carried out for gravity draining of a liquid from a large cylindrical tank (where the flow is essentially laminar) through single exit pipe in the absence and presence of Cetyl Pyridinium Chloride (CPC) surfactant solutions. The variables considered are initial height of liquid in the tank, dia. of tank, length of the exit pipe and concentration of surfactant. T...
متن کاملInduction of somatic embryogenesis in absence of exogenous auxin in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.)
Induction of somatic embryogenesis in absence of exogenous auxin can clarify some basic concepts of somatic embryogenesis. Explants from leaf and petiole of Cucumber (Cucumis sativus) were used in this experiment for somatic embryogenesis using three different modified B5 basal media; boron and 2,4-D but no IAA as control (I), boron and IAA but no 2,4-D (II) and no boron, 2,4-D and IAA (III). ...
متن کاملBiogeographical and Ecological Determinants of Land Snail Diversification on Islands
The equilibrium theory of island biogeography as originally proposed by R. MacArthur and E. O. Wilson relied on the ecological processes of colonization and extinction to determine the species diversity of islands. Although they were well aware of the potential contribution of speciation within-island to species diversity, MacArthur and Wilson’s equilibrium model was purely ecological and did n...
