ABSTRACT Objective Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is prevalent and causes a great negative impact on quality of life. Primary antibody deficiency (PAD) is highly prevalent with CRS compared to the background population. There are efficient treatment options to consider when CRS is a symptom of PAD. The condition seems to be underdiagnosed.

ABSTRACT Inherent cross‐reactivity for shared epitopes is thought to be critical for vaccines, since this is likely the only way in which a vaccine can be anticipatory, similar to immune responses induced by natural infections. However, measuring antigen‐specific and cross‐reactive B cells remains technically challenging due to low abundance of these ...
