Researchers find weaker immune response to viral infections in children with mitochondrial disorders
Researchers found that altered B cell function in children with mitochondrial disorders led to a weaker and less diverse antibody response to viral infections. Researchers analyzed gene activity of immune cells in children with mitochondrial disorders and found that B cells, which produce antibodies to fight viral infections, are less able to survive cellular stress.
