Some of the B cell memory is cross-reactive against past coronavirus infections. Strangely, however, the anti-RBD IgG1 response is proportional to the IgM+ memory cells, since the latter do not ...

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.

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 ...

Swedish researchers have just uncovered mind-blowing evidence that your brain continues to grow new memory cells well into old age, offering new hope for tackling memory loss and cognitive decline.

A type of antibody long thought to have a minor role in immune system memory may actually be a key player, new findings suggest. Researchers tracked the antibody's function by imaging the immune ...

Some B cells also turn into plasma cells, which serve one purpose: to create antibodies, including the provoker of allergies, IgE. In order to cause an allergic reaction, a certain amount of IgE ...

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 ...

Subsequently, CXCR3+ pre-memory B cells differentiated into CXCR3+ memory B cells, which exited the mediastinal lymph nodes and homed to the lung to become lung-BRMs. “In this proposed model, CXCR3+ ...

Memory B cell levels differed between the groups, identifying them as potential immune correlates of protection in Delta vaccine breakthrough. view more . Credit: A*STAR ID Labs.

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 ...
