Whether Breg cells uniquely derive from a specific progenitor or originate within conventional B cell subsets is still an open question. Unfortunately, Breg cells are more difficult to define than regulatory T cells (Tregs) since they lack a lineage marker analogous to the Treg cell marker - FOXP3.
Regulatory B (Breg) cell An immunosuppressive B cell type that stops the expansion of pathogenic, pro-inflammatory lymphocytes through the secretion of IL-10, IL-35, and TGF-β. Also, it promotes the generation of regulatory T (Treg) cells by directly interacting with T cells to skew their differentiation towards Tregs.
B10 cells are a sub-class of regulatory B-cells (B reg cell) that are involved in inhibiting immune responses in both humans and mice. [1] [2] [3] B10 cells are named for their ability to produce inhibitory interleukin: Interleukin-10 (IL-10). [4] [5] One of their unique abilities is that they suppress the innate and adaptive immune signals ...
Programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1), (CD279 cluster of differentiation 279). PD-1 is a protein encoded in humans by the PDCD1 gene. PD-1 is a cell surface receptor on T cells and B cells that has a role in regulating the immune system's response to the cells of the human body by down-regulating the immune system and promoting self-tolerance by suppressing T cell inflammatory activity.
Plasma cells are large lymphocytes with abundant cytoplasm and a characteristic appearance on light microscopy. They have basophilic cytoplasm and an eccentric nucleus with heterochromatin in a characteristic cartwheel or clock face arrangement. Their cytoplasm also contains a pale zone that on electron microscopy contains an extensive Golgi ...
Paul Berg (June 30, 1926 – February 15, 2023) was an American biochemist and professor at Stanford University . He was the recipient of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1980, along with Walter Gilbert and Frederick Sanger. The award recognized their contributions to basic research involving nucleic acids, especially recombinant DNA .
B-cell receptor. The B-cell receptor (BCR) is a transmembrane protein on the surface of a B cell. A B-cell receptor includes both CD79 and the immunoglobulin. The plasma membrane of a B cell is indicated by the green phospholipids. The B- cell receptor extends both outside the cell (above the plasma membrane) and inside the cell (below the ...
Patients with XLA have normal pre-B cell populations in their bone marrow but these cells fail to mature and enter the circulation. The Btk gene is located on the X chromosome (Xq21.3-q22). At least 400 mutations of the BTK gene have been identified. Of these, at least 212 are considered to be disease-causing mutations.
