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.

The study found that in the absence of B cells, CD8 T cells become overly active too early, burning out quickly and failing to develop into memory cells that provide long-term protection.

Memory B cells play a critical role to provide long-term immunity after a vaccination or infection. In a study published in the journal Immunity, researchers describe a distinct and novel subset of ...

B cells are white blood cells, produced in the bone marrow, that neutralize pathogens – such as bacteria, viruses and cancer cells – and tag them for removal from the body. Memory B cells are ...

As a postdoctoral fellow, Martinez-Gonzalez investigated the memory potential of another innate immune cell, type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s), which are activated by interleukin (IL)-33 and play ...

Two key players maintain this memory: long-lived plasma cells, which continuously produce antibodies, and memory B cells, which stand ready to adapt to future infections. These B cells are vital for ...

Memory B cells, along with early, late or short-lived plasmablasts, are detected in the cerebrospinal fluid and ectopic germinal centers in the meninges of patients with MS.
