  • Although B7-H4 binds an unknown receptor, it is thought to deliver an inhibitory signal to T-cells preventing their proliferation, cell cycle progression and interleukin-2 production. (thermofisher.com)
  • The B cell presents the antigen to type II helper T cells, so that the helper T cells can stimulate the B cells into proliferation and antibody production. (picmonic.com)
  • Abnormal production of these cells may also be observed in clinical states in which production of abnormal cell types is pathologically excessive (eg, lymphoproliferative diseases such as lymphoma and leukemia ) or in immunodeficiency disorders in which production is aberrantly low. (medscape.com)
