1993, 90: 1887-1891. 210. Roes J, Rajewsky K: Immunoglobulin D (IgD)-deficient mice
reveal an auxiliary receptor function for IgD in antigen-mediated recruitment of B cells. Exp …

Although most retroviruses require activated cells as their targets for infection, it is not known
how this is achieved in vivo. A candidate protein for the activation of B cells by either mouse …

Circadian rhythms, referring to 24-h daily oscillations in biological and physiological
processes, can significantly regulate host immunity to pathogens, as well as commensals …

Superantigens (SAgs) are proteins produced by pathogenic microbes to elicit potent,
antigen-independent T cell responses that are believed to enhance the microbes' …

Follicle-associated epithelium (FAE) in the intestinal Peyer's patches contains M cells that
deliver pathogens to organized lymphoid tissue. Development of Peyer's patches, FAE, and …

Retroviruses evolve rapidly to avoid the immune response of the infected host. We show
here that the wild-type mouse mammary tumor virus MMTV (C3H) persisted indefinitely in …

Mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) is a milk-borne retrovirus that exploits the adaptive
immune system. It has recently been shown that MMTV activates B cells via Toll-like receptor …

More than 90% of adults are latently infected with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), the causative
agent of infectious mononucleosis, a self-limiting lymphoproliferative disease characterized …

In the present work, we explored the cytokine‐dependent regulation of bone marrow‐
derived mast cell (BMMC) antigen‐presenting cell (APC) function, and co‐stimulation …

The nuclear matrix has been implicated in several cellular processes, including DNA
replication, transcription, and RNA processing. In particular, transcriptional regulation is …
