Abstract Background Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play a pivotal role in the immunologic
response to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection …

B cells produce a plethora of anti-HIV antibodies (Abs) but only few of them exhibit
neutralizing activity. This was long considered a profound limitation for the enforcement of …

The ability of a macrophage to engulf and break down invading cells and other targets
provides a first line of immune defense in nearly all tissues. This defining ability to “phagos” …

Professional antigen-presenting cells (APCs) include dendritic cells, monocytes, and B cells.
