T-cell-mediated activation of B cells
1Department of Pathology, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts.
Antibody responses to protein antigens are dependent on helper T lymphocytes, which provide necessary growth and differentiation, inducing stimuli to antigen-specific B cells. Recent investigations have focused on the mechanisms of T-B interactions, and the nature of the T-cell-derived signals that are needed for activation and expansion of B cells.
