BAFF and its receptors play a crucial role in peripheral B cell selection and survival, by
dictating the set point for mature primary B cell numbers and adjusting thresholds for …

We have characterized a distinct, late transitional B cell subset, CD21int transitional 2 (T2) B
cells. In contrast to early transitional B cells, CD21int T2 B cells exhibit augmented …

B‐cell‐activating factor (BAFF) is a survival and maturation factor for B cells belonging to the
tumour necrosis factor superfamily. Among three identified functional receptors, the BAFF …

In the past, B cells were considered a homogeneous population that gave rise toIg-secreting
cells and memory B cells, following specific antigenic stimulation. In recentyears, this view …

B-cell-activating factor (BAFF) is a survival and maturation factor for B cells belonging to the
tumour necrosis factor superfamily. Among three identified functional receptors, the BAFF …

The immature B cell represents an important window in B lymphocyte development, for it is
at this stage that cells expressing B cell antigen receptors (BCRs) specific for endogenous or …

Although the naïve B cell pool is purged of autoreactivity by central tolerance mechanisms
including receptor editing, clonal deletion and anergy, autoreactive BCRs are routinely …

B cell receptors with certain heavy/light chain pairs predominate in the periphery of anti-DNA
heavy chain transgenic mice while certain other B cell receptors are absent. We wanted to …
