Recognition of specific antigen through the B-cell receptor (BCR) stimulates the activation of B cells, which ultimately results in the production of high-affinity antibodies and the provision of ...

“Inoculation with tumour cell membrane-derived vaccines is a promising strategy to activate B cells, yet their efficiency is limited due to lack of co-stimulatory molecules,” the researchers ...

Contrary to what you likely learned in school, ferrying oxygen isn’t the only function of red blood cells. In a study published today (October 20) in Science Translational Medicine, researchers show ...

It is conceivable that the treated B cells activate macrophages and natural killer cells of the immune system in this way. The research team will now clarify whether this assumption is correct in ...
