  2. 1. B cells in Autoimmunity : Studies of Complement Receptor 1 & 2 and FcγRIIb in Autoimmune Arthritis

    Author : Kajsa Prokopec; Sandra Kleinau; Anna Erdei; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; B cells; complement receptors; fc gamma receptor IIb; autoimmune arthritis; rheumatoid arthritis; Immunology; Immunologi;

    Abstract : B cells are normally regulated to prevent activation against self-proteins through tolerance mechanisms.  However, occasionally there is a break in tolerance and B cells can become self-reactive, which might lead to the development of autoimmune disease. READ MORE

  5. 3. The role of B cells in rheumatoid arthritis

    Author : Maria Rehnberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; B cells; Rheumatoid arthritis; B cell depletion therapy;

    Abstract : It has been known for a long time that B cells play a role in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). By production of autoantibodies, presentation of auto-antigens and by producing cytokines B cells may contribute to the pathogenesis of RA. In recent years it has been shown that anti-B cell therapy is a powerful tool in the treatment of RA. READ MORE

  6. 4. Life and death of human B cells in health and disease

    Author : Andy Dernstedt; Mattias N. E. Forsell; Clas Ahlm; Jonas Klingström; Mats Bemark; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; b cells; antibody; hantavirus; germinal centre; phagocytosis; selection; DAF; vaccination; rituximab;

    Abstract : B cells provide one of the key mechanisms of immunological memory, which is theproduction of neutralising antibodies. How B cells respond to infections and vaccinationgives clues to how the development of the immunological memory is facilitated, and canthus lead to a deeper understanding of why the immune system sometimesmalfunctions.
