## Abstract Lupusβprone NZB/W F1 mice develop glomerulonephritis after Tβhelper cellβdependent isotype switching of autoantibody secretion from IgM to IgG at about 6βmonths of age. We compared innate immune natural killer (NK) T cells and conventional T cells for their capacity to help spontaneous

Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is characterized by a weak immune response to HBV. Regulatory T cells (T(reg)) can suppress the function of effector T cells and may thus be key players in this impaired immune response. Changes in the functionality or number of T(reg) could explain the decr
The mechanisms accounting for T cell depletion in AIDS patients are not yet fully understood, nor are the roles of host factors in HIV pathogenesis. We show here that an ongoing humoral immune response to HIV gp120 can sensitize non-infected cells towards apoptosis. Thus, i.v. injection of 1 ? g rec
