The Impact of CD30 on Germinal Center B Cell Dynamics and the Expansion of IgG1-Switched B Cells Background CD30 (also known as TNFRSF8) is a member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNF-R) superfamily. Initially identified as a marker of Hodgkin lymphoma, subsequent research revealed its expression on other lymphomas, such as diffuse large B-...

Kynurenine-AHR Reduces T-Cell Infiltration and Induces a Delayed T-Cell Immune Response by Suppressing the STAT1-CXCL9/CXCL10 Axis in Tuberculosis
