Abstract

B-cell reactivity, as expressed in a plasma cell reaction may be part of a graft-versus-host or host-versus-graft reaction. Cell transfer experiments were able to prove this. Histological evidence is presented for the occurrence of the so-called "allogeneic effect" during a graft-versus-host or host-versus-graft reaction in the rabbit spleen. Cell suspensions containing both T- and B-cells give rise to a cellular and a humoral immunity reaction component upon transfer to histoincompatible recipients. This can also occur during a graft-versus-host reaction. This B-cell response is T-cell dependent.

B cell Differentiation

Depending on the signal received through the B cell receptor and other receptors, B cells differentiate into follicular or marginal zone B cells. Here is the latest research pertaining to this differentiation process.

Allogenic & Autologous Therapies

Allogenic therapies are generated in large batches from unrelated donor tissues such as bone marrow. In contrast, autologous therapies are manufactures as a single lot from the patient being treated. Here is the latest research on allogenic and autologous therapies.
