"We have shown that the way in which the activation of B cells has been explained over the past thirty or forty years is wrong. This is an important finding, because it opens the door to better ...

Expression of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) in B cells provides a cell-intrinsic mechanism for innate signals regulating adaptive immune responses. In combination with other signaling pathways in B ...

Should this activation mechanism be confirmed, then yet another pathway will be added to the biologically significant phenomenon of polyclonal activation. This is because B cells may function as ...

Preliminary scientific report. Woodruff, M. C. et al. (2020). Critically Ill SARS-Cov-2 Patients Display Lupus-Like Hallmarks of Extrafollicular B Cell Activation.

B cell activation. B cells are activated in the secondary lymphoid organs (SLOs), which are the lymph nodes, tonsils, spleen, Peyer's patches and mucosa associated lymphoid tissue (MALT).

In severe cases of COVID-19, activation patterns of B cells resemble those seen in systemic lupus erythematosus, an autoimmune disease. Emory researchers want to see how far that resemblance extends.
