B-cell activation plays a crucial part in the immune system and is initiated via interaction
between the B cell receptor (BCR) and specific antigens. In recent years with the help of …

The B cell antigen receptor (BCR) plays a central role in the self/nonself selection of B
lymphocytes and in their activation by cognate antigen during the clonal selection process. It …

Receptors at the membrane of immune cells are the central players of innate and adaptative
immunity, providing effective defence mechanisms against pathogens or cancer cells. Their …

Bacterial lectins are typically multivalent and bind noncovalently to specific carbohydrates
on host tissues to facilitate bacterial adhesion. Here, we analyzed the effects of two fucose …

B lymphocytes have the ability to sense thousands of structurally different antigens and
produce cognate antibodies against these molecules. For this they carry on their surface …

Membrane proteins are organized in nanoscale compartments. Their reorganization plays a
crucial role in receptor activation and cell signaling. To monitor the organization and …

B cells lymphocytes are responsible for mounting an immune response in a variety of
species. B cells are typically activated through the antigen-binding site of its B cell receptors …

B cells respond to a wide variety of antigens with varying valiancy and mode of presentation
to the highly expressed B cell receptor (BCR). We previously demonstrated that clustering …

Influenza A viruses circulate among human populations engender significant morbidity and
mortality. Most inactivated and live-attenuated vaccines against seasonal and pandemic …

Blastocystis sp. is an enteric protozoan parasite of humans and many animals. Blastocystis
