Integrating B cell homeostasis and selection with BLyS.

The mechanisms that maintain a pool of B cells that is adequately diverse yet devoid of pathogenic autoreactivity remain poorly understood. B cells complete maturation after migrating to the periphery, where they transit several intermediate developmental stages prior to recruitment into the long-lived primary pool. Since B lineage commitment is not coupled to peripheral B cell numbers and most...

B-lymphocyte stimulator (BLyS) stimulates immunoglobulin production and malignant B-cell growth in Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia.

Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM) is a serious and frequently fatal B-cell malignancy associated with an elevated monoclonal IgM protein in the serum. Many of the mechanisms leading to this disease are not yet known. B-lymphocyte stimulator (BLyS) is a TNF family member that is critical for maintenance of normal B-cell development and homeostasis. BLyS is overexpressed in a variety of B-cell m...

Pharmacokinetics and immunological effects of exogenously administered recombinant human B lymphocyte stimulator (BLyS) in mice.

B lymphocyte stimulator (BLyS; also known as TNFSF20, BAFF, TALL-1, zTNF4, and THANK), a tumor necrosis factor ligand family member, has recently been identified as a factor that promotes expansion and differentiation of the B cell population, leading to increases in serum immunoglobulin levels. Here, pharmacokinetic parameters for BLyS administered i.v. and s.c. to mice are described, and the ...

Hepatitis C virus-associated B-cell proliferation--the role of serum B lymphocyte stimulator (BLyS/BAFF).

OBJECTIVE B lymphocyte stimulator (BLyS) is known to support B-cell proliferation (BCP) in B-cell haemopathies and autoimmune diseases. We assume that BLyS may play a role in the initiation and expression of hepatitis C virus (HCV)-associated BCP. We assessed BLyS serum levels in HCV-infected patients and in various forms of HCV-associated BCP [i.e. mixed cryoglobulin (MC), rheumatoid factor (R...

B lymphocyte stimulator (BLyS) isoforms in systemic lupus erythematosus: disease activity correlates better with blood leukocyte BLyS mRNA levels than with plasma BLyS protein levels

Considerable evidence points to a role for B lymphocyte stimulator (BLyS) overproduction in murine and human systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Nevertheless, the correlation between circulating levels of BLyS protein and disease activity in human SLE is modest at best. This may be due to an inadequacy of the former to reflect endogenous BLyS overproduction faithfully, in that steady-state prot...
