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 ...

A unique quality of the immune system is that it can generate a ‘memory’ response. This is generally referred to as ‘immune ...

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. – ...

Three doses of COVID-19 mRNA vaccination induce long-lasting antibody and memory B-cell responses, according to a study of 113 healthcare workers in Catalonia who were followed during three years. The ...

At the surface, the immune response to a flu virus is simple. Some cells recognize the pathogen and send a signal to the immune system, and immune cells produce a potentially lifesaving antibody ...

Multiple sclerosis B-cell profiles differ by ancestry and sex among Black and Hispanic patients with multiple sclerosis.

Fran Lund, Ph.D., professor in the UAB Department of Microbiology and director of the UAB Immunology Institute, along with other UAB researchers, recently published a study in Immunity illustrating ...

During vaccination, the immune system is purposefully exposed to weakened, inactivated, or a component of pathogens so that the body can recognize their molecular structures in the future and mount a ...
