Immune cells called B cells make antibodies that fight off invading bacteria, viruses and other foreign substances. During their preparation for this battle, B cells transiently revert to a more ...

However, details of the intervening steps, as researchers have learned in the past 65 years, are quite complex — certain cells carry the flu antigen to the immune system, specific immune cells respond ...

Memory B cells are particularly long-lived and "remember" pathogens, priming the immune system to respond quickly if it encounters the pathogen again. When someone has cancer or a chronic infection, ...

Single B-cell technologies have emerged as powerful screening tools to accelerate antibody discovery, offering R&D teams the potential to interrogate millions of individual antibody-secreting cells to ...

Background Withdrawal of prolonged nucleos(t)ide analogue (NA) treatment results in hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) loss in some subjects with chronic hepatitis B (CHB), potentially revealing ...

A small but enthusiastic group of neuroscientists is exhuming overlooked experiments and performing new ones to explore whether cells record past experiences — fundamentally challenging what memory is ...

T-bet expression is required for persistence of memory B cells that have rapid differentiation potential to become antibody-producing plasma cells in response to a second infection BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – ...
