  2. Paraneoplastic syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paraneoplastic_syndrome

    Symptomatic features of paraneoplastic syndrome cultivate in four ways: endocrine, neurological, mucocutaneous, and hematological.The most common presentation is a fever (release of endogenous pyrogens often related to lymphokines or tissue pyrogens), but the overall picture will often include several clinical cases observed which may specifically simulate more common benign conditions.

  3. Anti-Hu associated encephalitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Hu_associated...

    These T cells may be activated by the Hu proteins. [13] [14] In people with cancer, the cancer has a likely role in the cause of the encephalitis. In a paraneoplastic syndrome, a cancer cell can create proteins that are normally only found as naturally occurring proteins in other cell types in other parts of the body.

  4. Multiple myeloma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_myeloma

    Multiple myeloma (MM), also known as plasma cell myeloma and simply myeloma, is a cancer of plasma cells, a type of white blood cell that normally produces antibodies. [6] Often, no symptoms are noticed initially. [10] As it progresses, bone pain, anemia, renal insufficiency, and infections may occur. [10]

  5. Signs and symptoms of cancer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signs_and_symptoms_of_cancer

    Cancer is a group of diseases involving abnormal cell growth with the potential to invade or spread to other parts of the body. [3] [4] Cancer can be difficult to diagnose because its signs and symptoms are often nonspecific, meaning they may be general phenomena that do not point directly to a specific disease process.

  6. Humoral immunity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humoral_immunity

    These daughter cells either become plasma cells or memory cells. The memory B cells remain inactive here; later, when these memory B cells encounter the same antigen due to reinfection, they divide and form plasma cells. On the other hand, the plasma cells produce a large number of antibodies which are released freely into the circulatory system.

  7. Polyclonal B cell response - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyclonal_B_cell_response

    When the memory cells get stimulated by the antigen to produce plasma cells (just like in the clone's primary response), and leave even more memory cells in the process, this is known as a secondary immune response, [21] which translates into greater numbers of plasma cells and faster rate of antibody production lasting for longer periods. The ...

  8. Immunogenicity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immunogenicity

    Antigenicity is the capacity of a chemical structure (either an antigen or hapten) to bind specifically with a group of certain products that have adaptive immunity: T cell receptors or antibodies (a.k.a. B cell receptors). Antigenicity was more commonly used in the past to refer to what is now known as immunogenicity, and the two terms are ...

  9. Plantibody - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plantibody

    The main reason plants are being used to produce antibodies is for treatment of illnesses such as immune disorders, cancer, and inflammatory diseases, given the fact that the plantibodies also have no risk of spreading diseases to humans. [5] In the past 2 decades, research has shown that plant-derived antibodies have become easier to produce. [8]
