Researchers have discovered a never-before-identified type of memory B cell, an immune cell that ‘remembers’ what a person is allergic to, potentially opening the door to new therapeutics to ...

There's still a lot of uncertainty about how exactly the immune system responds to the SARS-CoV-2 virus. But what's become clear is that re-infections are still very rare, despite an ever-growing ...

Memory b cells and memory t cells induced by SARS-CoV-2 booster vaccination or infection show different dynamics and responsiveness to the omicron variant. The Journal of Immunology, 209, 2104–2113.

Her team identified a novel population of IgG memory B cells that were found more often in people with allergic diseases, and were correlated with high levels of IgE in the blood. While other ...

Scientists have clarified the mechanism for inducing germinal-center B cells' differentiation into memory B cells, immune cells that remember antigens, at the molecular level. A group of ...

These effector memory B cells appear poised for a rapid serum antibody response upon secondary challenge one year later, and evidence shows that the cells in this subset differ from all previously ...

Scientists are opening up new prospects in the field, with the triggering of memory B cells directly in the lungs looking to be a promising avenue. At present, the vaccines are administered ...

Researchers at McMaster University and the Danish pharmaceutical company ALK-Abello have discovered a new type of memory B cell with unique features and a unique genetic signature that could be a ...

Germinal centre-independent memory B cells are generated from CD38 + GL7 + activated B cells. These memory B cells may maintain broad reactivity to the activating pathogen. B1a and B1b cells can ...

These effector memory B cells appear to be poised for a rapid serum antibody response upon secondary challenge one year later, Anoma Nellore, M.D., Fran Lund, Ph.D., and colleagues at the University ...
