Oncotarget

Oncotarget (a primarily oncology-focused, peer-reviewed, open access journal) aims to maximize research impact through insightful peer-review; eliminate borders between specialties by linking different fields of oncology, cancer research and biomedical sciences; and foster application of basic and clinical science.

Its scope is unique. The term "oncotarget" encompasses all molecules, pathways, cellular functions, cell types, and even tissues that can be viewed as targets relevant to cancer as well as other diseases. The term was introduced in the inaugural Editorial, Introducing Oncotarget.

As of January 1, 2022, Oncotarget has shifted to a continuous publishing model. Papers will now be published continuously within yearly volumes in their final and complete form and then quickly released to Pubmed.

ABSTRACT

Functional B-cells are essential for the formation of oil granulomas. The IgH 3′ regulatory region (3′RR) activates important check-points during B-cell maturation. We investigated if 3′RR-deficient B-cells remain efficient to develop oil granulomas in response to pristine. B-cells expressing an IgH 3′RR-deficient allele were similarly recruited to wild type allele expressing B-cells in the granuloma. No differences were observed between 3′RR-deficient mice and control mice for granuloma numbers, cellular composition and ability to express mRNA transcripts for several pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines. Altogether these results suggest a normal role for 3′RR-deficient B-cells in the development of an acute B-cell-mediated inflammatory response.
