Polyclonal B cell activation in the acute phase of systemic lupus erythematosus--aspects of pathogenic significance

The Journal of Investigative Dermatology
W DiezelN Sönnichsen

Abstract

B lymphocytes from patients suffering from systemic lupus erythematosus show increasing rates of spontaneous transformation in prolonged cultivation (144 hr). An additional B cell stimulation could be detected following the addition of sera from lupus erythematosus patients (isolated during the acute phase of disease) to the culture medium. In addition enriched mitogenic serum components from lupus sera increase the 3H-thymidine uptake of Brucella abortus primed B cells of healthy controls. The incorporation of 3H-thymidine with respect to the Brucella antigen concentration is described.

Brucellosis is a bacterial infection caused by members of the genus brucella and remains one of the world's major zoonotic diseases. Discover the latest research on Brucellosis here.

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.
