The humoral immune response constitutes an efficient system to protect the organism against diseases caused by invading pathogens. To guarantee a highly efficient defence, the humoral immune system has to be tightly regulated. Two cell subsets in particular, T cells and follicular dendritic cells (F
## Abstract Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is an aggressive malignancy that accounts for nearly 40% of all lymphoid tumors. This heterogeneous disease can be divided into germinal center B cellβlike (GCB) and activated B cellβlike (ABC) subtypes by gene expression and immunohistochemical pro
Fas ligand (FasL), a cell surface molecule belonging to the tumour necrosis family, induces apoptosis through its receptor, Fas antigen (Fas). Germinal centre B cells strongly express Fas, but the role of the Fas-FasL system in B-cell selection in the germinal centre remains unclear. In the present
