Follicular dendritic cell makes environmental sense.

Immunity
Jessy Deshane, David D Chaplin

Abstract

Follicular dendritic cells (FDCs) are key organizers of B cell follicles and germinal centers. In this issue of Immunity, Suzuki et al. (2010) and Garin et al. (2010) identify the roles of Toll-like receptors in the responses of FDCs, providing a unique link between innate and adaptive immunity.

B cell Activation

B cell activation is initiated by the ligation of the B cell receptor with antigen and ultimately results in the production of protective antibodies against potentially pathogenic invaders. Here is the latest research.

Bacterial Cell Wall Structure

Bacterial cell walls are made of peptidoglycan (also called murein), which is made from polysaccharide chains cross-linked by unusual peptides containing D-amino acids. Here is the latest research on bacterial cell wall structures.
