which usually develop into white blood cells called lymphocytes. In B-PLL, B-lymphocytes grow and divide excessively, crowding out healthy cells. B-PLL has a high rate of recurrence, and the ...

BCMA is preferentially expressed on plasma cells and other mature B cells in blood 5. These cells originate with B-lymphocyte progenitors that mature through successive stages. Earlier stage ...

B-cell maturation antigen, or BCMA, is selectively expressed when plasma cells differentiate. It is almost absent on memory and naive B cells. The maintenance of long-lived plasma cells involves ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have uncovered a key pathway controlling tumor growth in B-cell lymphomas, according to a ...

Moreover, the clonal expansion and long life of some antigen-primed cytotoxic lymphocytes and plasma cells provide ... humoral immune responses by T and B cells, respectively, require the ...
