The effect of antibody affinity on molecular forms of immune complexes was investigated by measuring antigen-antibody interactions using surface plasmon resonance (SPR), electrospray ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry under non-denaturing conditions (MS), analytical ultracentrifugation (AUC), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). (4-Hydroxy-3-nitrophenyl)acetic
Whereas gut IgA responses to the microbiota may be multi-centered and diverse, little is known about IgA responses to T-cell-dependent antigens following oral immunizations. Using a novel approach, gut IgA responses to oral hapten (4-hydroxy-3-nitrophenyl)acetyl-cholera toxin (NP-CT) conjugates were followed

Recent studies have demonstrated that induction of a diverse repertoire of memory T cells ("immune education") affects responses to murine cecal ligation and puncture (CLP), the most widely - used animal model of sepsis. Among the documented effects of immune

The tumour necrosis factor (TNF) family member a proliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL) is implicated in various B-cell processes, such as class switch recombination, plasma cell differentiation and plasma cell survival. This was suggested from initial studies analysing B-cell responses in APRIL-deficient

For weeks after primary immunization with thymus-dependent antigens the responding lymph nodes contain effector CD4 T cells in T zones and germinal centers as well as recirculating memory T cells. Conversely, remote nodes, not exposed to antigen, only receive recirculating
