B-cells

In addition to the harsh side effects, it kills normal B-cells, which can be managed with medical treatment.

There is evidence it can raise the disease-fighting T - and B-cells and lower blood pressure.

The genes that give rise to B-cells for instance are designed to mutate extensively until one of these cells identifies an invader as foreign.

As an organism matures, it accumulates more and more of the B-cells that have been successful in its past.

Mutation rates are much higher in the production of B-cells than in any area of SCC no matter how speed is calculated.

When we laugh, natural killer cells which destroy tumours and viruses increase, along with Gamma-interferon (a disease-fighting protein), T-cells (important for our immune system) and B-cells (which make disease-fighting antibodies).

Once the B-cells start producing an antibody targeting a specific tumor protein, that line of cells is grown in quantity.

But B-cells can be activated without T-cells, and in fish and amphibians, B-cells are also phagocytes, providing a link between the adaptive and innate immune systems.

MabThera works by directly targeting cells in the immune system, called B-cells, which are known to play a key role in the development andprogression of Rheumatoid Arthritis.
