Journal of virology.J Virol.2016 Jan 27. pii: JVI.02377-15. [Epub ahead of print]
Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) has a tropism for B lymphocytes in which it establishes latency and can also cause lymphoproliferative disorders of these cells manifesting as primary effusion lymphoma (PEL) and multi-centric Castleman disease (MCD). T cell immunity is vital for the cont

Plasmodium falciparum antigens expressed on the surface of infected erythrocytes are important targets of naturally acquired immunity against malaria, but their high number and variability provide the pathogen with a powerful means of escape from host antibodies. Although broadly reactive antibodies

The identification of immunodominant B cell epitopes within surface pneumococcal virulence proteins in pediatric patients with invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) is a valuable approach to define novel vaccine candidates. To this aim, we evaluated sera from children with IPD and age-matched controls

… The percentages of B antigen positive (B+) and surface immunoglobulin positive (sIg+) lymphocytes were determined by direct immunofluorescent method in the bursa of Fabricius (BF) of chicks at 0 to 13 weeks of age. … The amounts of antibody-conjugated fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) bound to lymphocytes were also determined to estimate the epitope density of B antigen and slg on the lymphocyte membrane. …
