B cells and humoral immunity in atherosclerosis.
Insights into the important contribution of inflammation and immune functions in the development and progression of atherosclerosis have greatly improved our understanding of this disease. Although the role of T cells has been extensively studied for decades, only recently has the role of B cells gained more attention. Recent studies have identified differential effects of different B-cell subs...
متن کاملSAP expression in T cells, not in B cells, is required for humoral immunity.
SAP (also named SH2D1A) is an intracellular adaptor molecule expressed in T cells, natural killer (NK) cells, and some B cells. The SAP gene is mutated in X-linked lymphoproliferative (XLP) disease, a human immunodeficiency characterized by a faulty immune response to Epstein-Barr virus infection. Previous reports documented severe defects in antibody production and germinal center (GC) formati...
متن کاملAdaptive (T and B cells) immunity and control by dendritic cells in atherosclerosis.
Chronic inflammation in response to lipoprotein accumulation in the arterial wall is central in the development of atherosclerosis. Both innate and adaptive immunity are involved in this process. Adaptive immune responses develop against an array of potential antigens presented to effector T lymphocytes by antigen-presenting cells, especially dendritic cells. Functional analysis of the role of ...
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...
متن کاملHumoral immunity in cardiomyopathy.
Sera from patients with heart disease were examined by single sandwich indirect immunofluorescence for the presence of antibodies to human heart muscle. Endocardial biopsy specimens were also examined by direct immunofluorescence for deposition of antibodies in vivo. No consistent or specific abnormality was found in the biopsy specimens or sera of patients with congestive cardiomyopathy. The p...
