Researchers find weaker immune response to viral infections in children with mitochondrial disorders
NIH researchers analyzed the gene activities of immune cells in children with mitochondrial disorders and found that their B cells, which produce antibodies to fight viral infections, are less able to survive cellular stress.
… During stressful conditions, these cells produce a microRNA called mir4485 . MicroRNAs are small strings of RNA … and these B cells then try to survive by producing the microRNA to cope,” said Dr. McGuire. “But the B cells are too …
