B cells are an important part of the immune system and help the body recognize and fight infections. A group of B cells known ...

While we tend to quickly forget having been ill or having received a vaccine, the immune system remembers remarkably well. It has memory B cells—"trained" immune cells that circulate throughout the ...

Researchers in Madrid have developed an in vitro stimulation model showing that B cells from patients with common variable ...

The average human has about 1.8 trillion immune cells. These cells patrol the body for bacteria, viruses, cancers, and other threats. Vaccines enhance this security system by teaching our immune cells ...

Newswise — Bottom Line: Bivalent mRNA booster vaccination not only reactivates memory B cells against ancestral SARS-CoV-2 but also promotes their further maturation in germinal centers, leading to ...

University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and UPMC Hillman Cancer Center scientists have discovered a novel subset of cancer-fighting immune cells that reside outside of their normal neighborhood – ...

Activated and class-switched memory B cells were enriched at the end of treatment in the patients who went on to clear HBsAg. Five of 21 patients lost hepatitis B surface antigen after stopping ...

Researchers at the University of Vermont Robert Larner, M.D. College of Medicine and Upstate Medical University in Syracuse, NY, have discovered that dengue virus can infect and replicate inside ...

The study, "A transcriptionally distinct subset of influenza-specific effector memory B cells predicts long-lived antibody responses to vaccination in humans,” was published in Immunity. “Our study ...
