... Tropomyosin (TM) is a major shellfish allergen and a minor fish allergen. Different digestion profiles affect potential allergen anaphylaxis of protein. In this study, released peptides of fish-TM, shrimp-TM, and clam-TM by in vitro digestion of simulated gastric fluid (SGF), simulated intestinal fluid (SIF), and gastrointestinal (GI) were analyzed using sequential windowed acquisition of all theo ...

Abstract:
... Activated cytotoxic CD4 T cells (HLA-DR+) play an important role in the control of EBV infection, especially in cells with latency I (EBNA-1). One of the evasion mechanisms of these latency cells is generated by gp42, which, via peripherally binding to the β1 domain of the β chain of MHC class II (HLA-DQ, -DR, and -DP) of the infected B lymphocyte, can block/alter the HLA class II/T-cell receptor ...

Abstract:
... The function and antigen-specificities of tumor-infiltrating B cells are mostly unknown. In a new study by Mazor et al., matrix metalloproteinase 14 (MMP14), a self-antigen that is overexpressed by ovarian cancers, is shown to drive B cell activation and autoantibody production in tertiary lymphoid structures (Mazor et al., 2022). ...

Abstract:
... Follicular regulatory T cells (Tfrs), a specialized subset of regulatory T cells (Tregs), have a particular role in the control of follicular helper T cell-driven germinal center (GC) responses. Following differentiation signals similar to those received by follicular helper T cells (Tfhs), Tfrs gain expression of characteristic chemokine receptors and transcription factors, such as CXCR5 and Bcl- ...
B-lymphocytes, etc ; blood volume; computer simulation; humans; Show all 4 Subjects
Abstract:
... B cells recognize antigens via membrane‐expressed B‐cell receptors (BCR) and antibodies. Similar human BCR sequences are frequently found at a significantly higher frequency than that theoretically calculated. Patients infected with SARS‐CoV2 and HIV or with autoimmune diseases share very similar BCRs. Therefore, in silico reconstitution of BCR repertoires and identification of stereotypical BCR s ...

Abstract:
... Diagnosis of Toxoplasma gondii acute infection was first attempted by detection of specific IgM antibodies, as for other infectious diseases. However, it was noted that this immunoglobulin declines slowly and may last for months or even years. Apart from the diagnostic problem imposed on clinical management, this phenomenon called our attention due to the underlying phenomena that may be causing i ...

Abstract:
... Three new pyrrole alkaloids albifipyrrols A–C (1–3), were isolated from the endophytic fungus Albifimbria viridis collected from the Chinese medicinal plant. Their structures were elucidated by extensive NMR and HRESIMS spectrometric analyses. All compounds were evaluated for immunosuppressive activity. Fortunately, compound 2 exhibits certain inhibition specifically against the LPS-induced prolif ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: Although cytomegalovirus (CMV) is not considered tumorigenic, there is evidence for its oncomodulatory effects and association with hematological neoplasms. Conversely, a number of experimental and clinical studies suggest its putative anti-tumour effect. We investigated the potential connection between chronic CMV infection in patients with B-lymphocyte (B-cell) malignancies in a retr ...

Abstract:
... The importance of the bursa of Fabricius (BF) for the pathogenesis of Marek’s disease (MD) has been studied since the late 1960’s. In this review, the results of these studies are analyzed in the context of the developing knowledge of the immune system of chickens and the pathogenesis of MD from 1968 to 2022. Based on the available techniques to interfere with the development of the BF, three dist ...

Abstract:
... Antibody-mediated rejection is a major cause of graft failure in organ transplantation. For this reason, B cell responses are of particular interest to transplantation research. Rats are important model organisms for transplant studies, but B cell alloimmune assays and B cell subset markers are poorly established in rats. We alloimmunized rats by donor blood injection using the high responder rat ...

Abstract:
... Vaccine-mediated immunity to parasites has not been achieved. Immune C57BL/6 mice are susceptible to secondary Toxoplasma gondii infection. Using a forward genetics approach, Souza et al. identify Nfkbid as an important factor for the regulation of B cell immunity during secondary Toxoplasma infection and protection against rechallenge. ...

Abstract:
... B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) is the most prevalent pediatric cancer. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are 18-22nt non-coding transcripts shown to be essential for the development of many cancers. While some miRNAs are reportedly expressed differentially between healthy and B-ALL, no studies have reported a consensus miRNA signature. Therefore, we performed a reanalysis of five miRNA datasets to i ...

Abstract:
... Meloxicam is a commonly used analgesic in rabbits. However, its possible impact on lymphocyte subpopulations remained unknown. The aim of the study was to investigate a possible effect of long-term administration of meloxicam on rabbit lymphocyte subpopulations. The study included 8 rabbits given meloxicam orally once daily (1 mg/kg BW) for 14 days and 8 rabbits as a control group. Peripheral bloo ...

Abstract:
... Mutations in PLCγ, a substrate of the tyrosine kinase BTK, are often found in patients who develop resistance to the BTK inhibitor Ibrutinib. However, the mechanisms by which these PLCγ mutations cause Ibrutinib resistance are unclear. Under normal signaling conditions, BTK mediated phosphorylation of Y783 within the PLCγ cSH2-linker promotes the intramolecular association of this site with the ad ...

Abstract:
... Neoplasms of the intestinal tract are uncommon in rabbits and primary lymphoma of the intestinal tract is rare. This case series is the first detailed description of primary intestinal lymphoma in rabbits. We reviewed four cases of primary intestinal lymphoma in rabbits aged 5–9.5 years old with an average age of 7.8 years. Neoplastic cells in three cases were large (8 μm diameter) while one case ...

Abstract:
... When B cells are exposed to antigens, they use their B‐cell receptors (BCRs) to transduce this external signal into internal signaling cascades and uptake antigen, which activate transcriptional programs. Signaling activation requires complex cytoskeletal remodeling initiated by BCR signaling. The actin cytoskeletal remodeling drives B‐cell morphological changes, such as spreading, protrusion, con ...

Abstract:
... Continued interest in bioactive alkaloids led to the isolation of two undescribed alkaloids, ophiorrhines F (1) and G (2), from the aerial parts of Ophiorrhiza japonica. Their structures were elucidated based on spectroscopic methods, electronic circular dichroism, and calculated NMR with DP4+ analysis. These two alkaloids represent key biological genetic intermediates in the formation of ring C i ...

Abstract:
... High-throughput single-cell analysis today is facilitated by protocols like the 10X Genomics platform or Drop-Seq which generate cDNA pools in which the origin of a transcript is encoded at its 5′ or 3′ end. Here, we used R2C2 to sequence and demultiplex 12 million full-length cDNA molecules generated by the 10X Genomics platform from ~3000 peripheral blood mononuclear cells. We use these reads, i ...

Abstract:
... In pigs (Sus scrofa), the initial immunoglobulin rearrangement of the κ light chain is replaced by λ before the heavy chains rearrange, and the light chains may rearrange even later. This study investigates whether these developmental differences are reflected in the usage of IGK and IGL genes. We found large differences between peripheral B cells and those developing in the bone marrow, and betwe ...

Abstract:
... Activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) is a key cause of liver fibrosis. However, the mechanisms leading to the activation of HSCs are not fully understood. In the pathological process, acid-sensing ion channel 1a (ASIC1a) is widely involved in the development of inflammatory diseases, suggesting that ASIC1a may play an important role in liver fibrosis. We found that in an acidic environment, ...
