The Myeloma Risk Variant of TNFRSF13B Shows Reduced NF‐κB Signalling Activity in HEK293 Cells

European Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A single nucleotide variant rs34562254 in TNFRSF13B, which encodes TACI (transmembrane activator and CAML interactor), is associated with an increased risk of myeloma and MGUS. This variant encodes a proline to leucine substitution at residue 251 in the long isoform (P251L) and residue 205 in the short isoform (P205L) of TACI.

Autoimmunity and Periodontitis

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
In a microbe‐driven inflammatory environment, peptidyl‐arginine deiminase (PAD) enzymes from neutrophils and Porphyromonas gingivalis citrullinate both microbial and self‐antigens. B cell presentation of citrullinated or self‐mimicking epitopes activates T cells that assist B cells in antibody isotype switching, affinity maturation, epitope spreading ...

Cumulative Antigen Suppression Reduces Clonal Plasma Cell Evolution in Gaucher Disease

American Journal of Hematology, Volume 101, Issue 9, Page 2197-2213, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Chronic antigenic stimulation is implicated in the pathogenesis of monoclonal gammopathy and multiple myeloma, yet longitudinal human evidence linking sustained antigen exposure to modifiable clonal plasma cell evolution remains limited. Gaucher disease (GD), caused by biallelic GBA1 pathogenic variants, is characterized by accumulation of ...

DNA Replication Stress‐Induced Transcriptome of Human Burkitt's Lymphoma Identifies Reciprocal Regulation Between MBD1 and BCL6 During Germinal Center‐Derived B‐Lymphomagenesis

Hematological Oncology, Volume 44, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT BCL6 is a master transcriptional regulator of germinal center (GC) B cells. BCL6 is frequently translocated at the major translocation cluster (MTC) within intron 1 of the BCL6 locus, a hotspot commonly rearranged in diffuse large B cell lymphomas (DLBCLs).

cAb-Rep: A Database of Curated Antibody Repertoires for Exploring Antibody Diversity and Predicting Antibody Prevalence

Frontiers in Immunology, 2019
The diversity of B cell receptors provides a basis for recognizing numerous pathogens. Antibody repertoire sequencing has revealed relationships between B cell receptor sequences, their diversity, and their function in infection, vaccination, and disease.

Circulating Tumor DNA and Immune Response Markers for Improved Treatment Outcome Prediction in Diffuse Large B‐Cell Lymphoma: A Scoping Review

Hematological Oncology, Volume 44, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Early identification of refractory disease remains a significant unmet clinical need in patients with diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma (DLBCL). This scoping review was conducted to assess the current knowledge on the use of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), either alone or in combination with immune markers, as predictive tools for treatment outcome

Optimization of antibody binding by adjusting thermodynamic stability during the maturation of antibody affinities

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Somatic mutations and antibody clone selection occur in B‐cell hyper‐evolution over extremely brief periods of time. Herein, we developed a technique for antibody screening by immunizing alpacas with antigens and observing antibody sequence transitions over time, a method we named Tracking the Evolution of Antibodies over time.

Somatic hypermutation of immunoglobulin genes: merging mechanisms for genetic diversity.

Cell, 2002
Somatic hypermutation is critical for the generation of high-affinity antibodies and effective immune responses, but its molecular mechanism remains poorly understood. Recent studies have identified DNA strand lesions associated with the hypermutation process and suggested the involvement of specific repair molecules and pathways. Particularly exciting

Decoding the Black Box of Fish Vaccines Efficacy in Basic and Applied Contexts

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 4, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Vaccines are the frontline defense in aquaculture, yet predicting their real‐world performance remains a tricky puzzle. Unlike terrestrial veterinary vaccines, fish vaccines largely operate through “Black Box” processes, where we observe the outcomes but rarely understand the underlying immune mechanisms. Laboratory trials, though informative,

Immunoglobulin germline reference sequences enable investigations and reveal insights into bat-specific immunity

iScience
Summary: We generated a highly contiguous, annotated genome of the Jamaican fruit bat, Artibeus jamaicensis, including annotated germline immunoglobulin heavy-chain (IGH) and light-chain lambda (IGL) loci to understand bat B cell receptor repertoires ...
