Humoral immunity against Epstein–Barr virus showed no significant decrease (P=0.99) and is likely to be maintained for life (estimated half-life, 11,552 years; 95% CI, 63 to infinity).

Humoral immunity. When foreign material - antigens - is recognized in the body, the body responds with an antibody-mediated reaction. Extracellular intruders, such as bacteria, ...

Humoral immunity produces antigen-specific antibodies and is primarily driven by B cells. Cell-mediated immunity on the other hand does not depend on antibodies for its adaptive immune functions and ...

At the surface, the immune response to a flu virus is simple. Some cells recognize the pathogen and send a signal to the ...

The humoral arm of the innate immune system is made up of different classes of molecules, such as pentraxins, collectins, and ficolins, which functionally act as ancestors of antibodies (ante ...

Advances in understanding of B-lymphocyte maturation and immune tolerance are yielding new insight into the influence of gonadal steroids on the humoral immune system. Kovacs and colleagues ...

About the study. In the present study, researchers investigate the impact of inadequate nocturnal sleep in the days surrounding vaccination on vaccine-induced humoral immunity.

Humoral immunity is also called antibody-mediated immunity. With assistance from helper T cells, B cells will differentiate into plasma B cells that can produce antibodies against a specific antigen.

Adaptive immunity concerts two separate arms—humoral immunity driven by antibody-producing B cells, and cell-mediated immunity driven by “helper” T cells and “killer” T cells.

The authors investigated the potential role of IgG N-glycosylation in Haemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome (HFRS), which may offer significant insights for understanding molecular mechanisms and for ...

Humoral immunity and cell-mediated immunity are two types of an adaptive immune response that enable the human body to defend itself in a targeted way against harmful agents such as bacteria, viruses ...
