Epigenetic Regulation of B Lymphocyte Differentiation, Transdifferentiation, and Reprogramming
B cell development is a multistep process that is tightly regulated at the transcriptional level. In recent years, investigators have shed light on the transcription factor networks involved in all the differentiation steps comprising B lymphopoiesis. The interplay between transcription factors and the epigenetic machinery involved in establishing the correct genomic landscape characteristic of...
متن کاملB-lymphocyte heterogeneity: development and characterization of an alloantiserum which distinguishes B-lymphocyte differentiation alloantigens
CBA/N mice and F1 male mice, which are hemizygous for the CBA/N X chromosome, have an immune defect which is associated with the absence (deficiency) of a subpopulation of mature or late developing B lymphocytes. This characteristic was utilized to develop an antiserum that was specific for this subclass of B cells. C57BL/L mice were immunized with DBA/2 spleen calls, and the resulting antisera...
متن کاملHeterogeneity of b lymphocyte differentiation in severe combined immunodeficiency disease.
Pokeweed mitogen-induced B lymphocyte differentiation in vitro into antibody secreting plaque-forming cells (PFC) was investigated in nine patients with severe combined immunodeficiency having variable proportions of circulating B lymphocytes. When cultured by themselves, the peripheral blood mononuclear cells did not respond to stimulation with pokeweed mitogen in any patient. In the presence ...
متن کاملRegulated progression of B lymphocyte differentiation from cultured fetal liver
Lymphoid fetal liver cultures (LFLC) are long-term, nontransformed cultures of early B lymphoid lineage cells which appear developmentally blocked at the pre-B stage in vitro. When injected into severe combined immunodeficient (SCID) mice, cells from LFLC could reconstitute splenic B lymphocytes and serum IgM. T lymphocyte reconstitution was not observed and serum IgG levels were very low. IgG3...
متن کاملRegulation of germinal center B‐cell differentiation
Germinal centers (GC) are the main sites where antigen-activated B-cell clones expand and undergo immunoglobulin gene hypermutation and selection. Iterations of this process will lead to affinity maturation, replicating Darwinian evolution on the cellular level. GC B-cell selection can lead to four different outcomes: further expansion and evolution, apoptosis (non-selection), or output from th...
