    Abstract : The complement system is critically involved in defence against bacterial infection. C2 deficiency is, apart from mannan-binding lectin (MBL) deficiency, the most common homozygous complement deficiency among Caucasians. READ MORE

  4. 17. 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.
