Multiple antigen peptides for specific detection of antibodies to a malaria antigen in human sera.

abstract：:Several studies have implicated a role for the cell surface glycoprotein CD44 in lymphocyte differentiation, adhesion to the matrix, homing, activation and apoptosis. However, the requirement of CD44 in B cell maturation remains elusive. To address this point, we analyzed the generation and activation of B lymphocytes...
