| This suggests that epithelial tissues might be infected by being close to lytically infected B cells. |
| The cells in LPHD known as lymphocytic and histolytic cells are proving to be distinctly different from classic Reed-Sternberg B cells. |
| In the test tube, THC reduces antibody production by B cells from mice and impedes the capacity of T cells to destroy infected or cancerous cells. |
| Children with autism had 20 percent higher concentrations of antibody producing B cells and 40 percent more natural killer cells. |
| During infectious mononucleosis, for example, the Epstein-Barr virus infects B cells, causing them to express viral antigens. |
| When an invading pathogen has been recognized, pathogen-specific B cells proliferate and are transformed into antibody-secreting cells. |
