Positive selection of natural autoreactive B cells.
Lymphocyte development is critically influenced by self-antigens. T cells are subject to both positive and negative selection, depending on their degree of self-reactivity. Although B cells are… Expand

B‐cell commitment, development and selection
Summary: Here we review three areas in B‐cell development in the mouse, with a focus on relevance to B‐1/CD5+ B cells. Multiparameter flow cytometry has allowed the dissection of intermediate stages… Expand

Positive Selection of Anti–Thy-1 Autoreactive B-1 Cells and Natural Serum Autoantibody Production Independent from Bone Marrow B Cell Development
A natural serum autoantibody specific for the Thy-1 glycoprotein (anti–Thy-1 autoantibody [ATA]) is produced by B-1 cells that are positively selected by self-antigen. Here, using ATAμκ transgenic… Expand

Evidence of marginal-zone B cell-positive selection in spleen.
Antigen receptor-mediated signaling is critical for the development and survival of B cells. However, it has not been established whether B cell development requires a signal from self-ligand… Expand

Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase is a novel autoantigen leading autoimmune responses to proliferating cell nuclear antigen multiprotein complexes in lupus patients.
Using 2-dimensional electrophoresis and ion-pair chromatography, we have identified elements of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) multiprotein complexes that are reactive to antibodies in… Expand

Suppression of ascites formation and re-accumulation associated with human ovarian cancer by an anti-VPF monoclonal antibody in vivo.
Ascites formation is often observed in ovarian cancer patients. Vascular permeability factor (VPF) may induce ascites formation. We established an animal model of ascites formation and… Expand
