  1. ncbi Distinction of the memory B cell response to cognate antigen versus bystander inflammatory signals
    Micah J Benson
    Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Dartmouth Medical School and Norris Cotton Cancer Center, Lebanon, NH 03756, USA
    J Exp Med 206:2013-25. 2009
    ..The absence of a B(MEM) response to nonspecific inflammatory signals clearly shows that B(MEM) proliferation and differentiation is a process tightly controlled by the availability of cognate antigen...
  2. ncbi Cutting edge: the dependence of plasma cells and independence of memory B cells on BAFF and APRIL
    Micah J Benson
    Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Dartmouth Medical School, The Norris Cotton Cancer Center, Lebanon, NH 03756, USA
    J Immunol 180:3655-9. 2008
    ..These data define the BAFF/APRIL-dependent and -independent components of long-lived humoral immunity...
  3. ncbi Molecular mechanism and function of CD40/CD40L engagement in the immune system
    Raul Elgueta
    Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Dartmouth Medical School and the Norris Cotton Cancer Center, Lebanon, NH 03756, USA
    Immunol Rev 229:152-72. 2009
    ..Lastly, we discuss the role of CD40 as a target in harnessing anti-tumor immunity. This review underscores the essential role CD40 plays in adaptive immunity...
  4. ncbi Affinity of antigen encounter and other early B-cell signals determine B-cell fate
    Micah J Benson
    Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Dartmouth Medical School, Lebanon, NH 03756, USA
    Curr Opin Immunol 19:275-80. 2007
    ..We hypothesize that graded interferon regulatory factor-4 levels driven by signals to B cells, including B-cell receptor signal strength, are responsible for this branch point in the B-cell terminal differentiation pathway...
  5. ncbi Strategies for selective priming of memory B cells
    Vanitha S Raman
    Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Dartmouth Medical School, Lebanon, NH 03756, USA
    Immunol Lett 109:93-100. 2007
    ..Furthermore, these studies suggest that the signals that govern the expansion and differentiation of B(mem) can be uncoupled from those that induce long-lived BM PCs...
