The Role of CD4 T Cell Repertoire and Immune Memory Mechanisms in Vaccination and Infection Immunity
ABSTRACT CD4+ T cells orchestrate adaptive immunity against respiratory viruses through functionally distinct subsets, yet the qualitative differences between vaccine‐ and infection‐induced responses remain incompletely understood. This review summarizes current evidence on how CD4+ T cell subsets shape the magnitude, breadth, and durability of ...

ABSTRACT The presence of anti‐modified protein antibodies (AMPA) is a hallmark of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). AMPA recognize post‐translationally modified proteins and are cross‐reactive. AMPA include anti‐citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA), anti‐carbamylated protein antibodies (anti‐CarP), and anti‐acetylated protein antibodies (AAPA).

GC B Cells, Tfh Cells, and Influenza bnAbs: Insights for Improving Universal Vaccine Design
ABSTRACT Antibodies are crucial for providing protection against influenza virus infection; however, protective humoral immunity is limited by antigenic drift and shift. Hence, the discovery of broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) targeting conserved epitopes on hemagglutinin protein evokes the hope of developing a universal influenza vaccine ...

The Structure of Vertebrate Antigen Receptor Repertoires: An Evolutionary Perspective
ABSTRACT In vertebrate adaptive immune systems, somatically diversified antigen receptors assume a central role in self/nonself discrimination. Attesting to the presence of a unique but unknown selective environment at early stages of vertebrate evolution, this facility emerged twice, in the ancestors of jawless and jawed vertebrates.

Interferon‐Mediated Regulation of Memory B Cell Identity and Function
ABSTRACT Memory B cells are essential for long‐lasting immunity induced by both encountered pathogens and vaccines. Functional diversity within the memory B cell pool is established through interactions between memory B cells and the environment in which they develop and reside.
