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 کاملImmunity to Hepatitis B Vaccine in Thalassaemic Patients based on the Time Passed from Vaccination
Background & Aims: Hepatitis B virus is one of the causes of acute and chronic hepatitis. Due to multiple hospitalization and blood transfusion, thalassaemic patients are at higher risk of this infection. Duration of the immunity after vaccination in this high-risk group and the need for booster vaccination is uncertain. The aim of this study was to find antibody titration and immunity to Hepat...
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...
متن کاملAre booster immunisations needed for lifelong hepatitis B immunity? European Consensus Group on Hepatitis B Immunity.
Long-term protection against clinically significant breakthrough hepatitis B (HB) virus infection and chronic carriage depends on immunological memory, which allows a protective anamnestic antibody response to antigen challenge. Memory seems to last for at least 15 years in immunocompetent individuals. To date there are no data to support the need for booster doses of HB vaccine in immunocompet...
