Rituximab treatment results in impaired secondary humoral immune
... In the present study, we have demonstrated that the humoral immune response to recall antigens decreases significantly with rituximab treatment. Surprisingly, although all patients responded to recall antigens, none of the patients responded to the primary antigens before or after rituximab treatmen ...

The Immune System

Any foreign substance that triggers a specific defense response is called an antigen. Antigens are usually proteins but can also be carbohydrates, lipids and nucleic ...
