If the lymph node or similar tissue is reactive, or otherwise benign, it should possess a mixture of kappa positive and lambda positive cells. If, however, one type of light chain is significantly more common than the other, the cells are likely all derived from a small clonal population, which may indicate a malignant condition, such as B-cell ...

Reception for the book has been positive. [5] The Quarterly Review of Biology gave a positive review for the text in 1997 and 2005, [6] with the reviewer in 2005 calling it "an excellent textbook" and praising the website associated with the book. [7] BioScience also gave praise for the book, commenting upon its layout and approach. [8]
Oscillations are an important type of cell signaling characterized by the periodic change of the system in time. [1] Oscillations can take place in a biological system in a multitude of ways. Positive feedback loops, on their own or in combination with negative feedback are a common feature of oscillating biological systems. [2]
It binds to ligand CD70, and plays a key role in regulating B-cell activation and immunoglobulin synthesis. [5] When CD27 binds CD70, a signaling cascade leads to the differentiation and clonal expansion of T cells. [11] The cascade also results in improved survival and memory of cytotoxic T cells and increased production of certain cytokines. [12]
Antitermination in lambda is induced by two quite distinct mechanisms. The first is the result of interaction between lambda N protein and its targets in the early phage transcripts, and the second is the result of an interaction between the lambda Q protein and its target in the late phage promoter.
Type III interferon receptors are expressed more specifically on epithelial cells and some immune cells such as neutrophils, and depending on the species, B cells and dendritic cells as well. [ 13 ] [ 14 ] [ 15 ] Therefore, their antiviral effects are most prominent in barriers, in gastrointestinal, respiratory and reproductive tracts.
Defects in the CD43 molecule are associated with the development of Wiskott–Aldrich syndrome. [8] It also appears in about 25% of intestinal MALTomas. [citation needed] Using immunohistochemistry, CD43 can be demonstrated in the paracortical T-cells of healthy lymph nodes and tonsils; it is also positive in a range of lymphoid and myeloid tumours.
