Toru Hosoi and colleagues hypothesized the existence of a neuroprotective agent secreted by pancreatic β cells, distinct from insulin, that could mitigate the onset of Alzheimer's disease.

While durable antibody responses from long-lived plasma cell (LLPC) populations are important for protection against pathogens, LLPC may be harmful if they produce antibodies against self-proteins or ...

Induces potent and long-lasting immune responses to defined antigens or whole pathogens (particles), mainly through the ...

Toru Hosoi and colleagues hypothesized the existence of a neuroprotective agent secreted by pancreatic β cells, distinct from insulin, that could mitigate the onset of Alzheimer's disease.

It accounts for 15% of all antibodies in the human body and is produced by B cells and secreted from the lamina propria, a thin layer within mucosal tissues. IgA is one of the body's first-line ...

Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) is prominently used for analyzing elemental composition in individual cells. However, the conventional sample introduction system of ICP-MS ...

One form of therapy involves labeling the CD20 protein on the surface of the B cells with customized antibodies. This triggers a chain of immunological reactions and ultimately leads to the ...

The relation between these anti-modified protein antibody (AMPA)-classes is poorly understood as is the ability of different PTM-antigens to activate B-cell receptors (BCRs) directed against ...
