Single-cell BCR and transcriptome analysis after influenza infection reveals spatiotemporal dynamics of antigen-specific B cells [PDF]
B cell responses are critical for antiviral immunity. However, a comprehensive picture of antigen-specific B cell differentiation, clonal proliferation, and dynamics in different organs after infection is lacking. Here, by combining single-cell RNA and B

Tumor-infiltrating B cells complement T cell-mediated antitumor immunity. A panel of experts share their views on the complexity of B cells within the tumor microenvironment, the variety of mechanisms by which these cells control tumor growth, their organization in tertiary lymphoid structures, and their association with immunotherapy response.

Human IgM+CD27+ B Cells: Memory B Cells or “Memory” B Cells? [PDF]
Abstract Memory B cells are generated in germinal centers (GC) and contribute to serological immunity by rapidly differentiating into plasma cells. Human memory B cells can be identified by the expression of CD27. These cells exhibit more rapid responses than naive (CD27−) B cells following stimulation in vitro, consistent with the ...

Stromal Cells Attract B‐Cell Progenitors to Promote B‐Cell–B‐Cell Contact and Maturation [PDF]
AbstractThe in vitro differentiation of B‐lineage progenitors into Ig‐secreting mature B cells has classically required a co‐culture system containing lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and stromal cells. We have previously showed that B‐lineage progenitors cultured in round‐bottomed wells can mature and secrete immunoglobulin M (IgM) on par with cultures ...

Soluble CD40 ligand can replace the normal T cell-derived CD40 ligand signal to B cells in T cell-dependent activation [PDF]
We have constructed a soluble chimeric fusion protein between the mouse CD8 alpha chain and the mouse CD40 T cell ligand. This protein binds to both human and mouse B cells.

Determinants of anti-PD-1 response and resistance in clear cell renal cell carcinoma [PDF]
ADAPTeR is a prospective, phase II study of nivolumab (anti-PD-1) in 15 treatment-naive patients (115 multiregion tumor samples) with metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) aiming to understand the mechanism underpinning therapeutic response.

Primary CNS extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma (MZBL) is a rare low-grade non-Hodgkin lymphoma characterized predominantly by small B cells, plasma cells, monocytoid cells, and scattered large immunoblasts.

Inhibition of T cell/B cell interaction by B-CLL cells [PDF]
The course of disease in patients suffering from chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is determined by a profound dysregulation of the immune system. The resulting immune suppression is the main cause of death in those patients. In the present study we addressed the question of whether leukemic B cells (B-CLL) are able to suppress regular T cell/B cell ...

Correlation of group C meningococcal conjugate vaccine response with B- and T-lymphocyte activity. [PDF]
Despite the success of conjugate vaccination against meningococcal group C (MenC) disease, post-vaccination, some individuals still exhibit rapid waning of initially protective bactericidal antibody levels.
