Antibody-mediated modulation of immune responses

Immunological Reviews
Falk Nimmerjahn, Jeffrey V Ravetch

Abstract

Activation of the humoral immune system by microbial infections or self-antigens results in the initiation of strong pro-inflammatory reactions. Antibodies of the immunoglobulin G (IgG) isotype play a crucial role in this cascade of reactions, resulting in the clearance of invading microbes and the generation of long lasting immunity. In addition, IgG antibodies feedback on the generation of novel IgG antibodies by activated B cells, impact plasma cell survival, and participate actively in maintaining and returning to the steady state. This review focuses on our current models of how IgG molecules can have this diverse array of activities.

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.

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.
