New study demonstrates how high-affinity B cells 'bank' their best traits instead of rolling the dice and risking deleterious mutations, with implications for better vaccine design. A vaccine's ...
—A new study from Switzerland suggests that post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorders (PTLDs) may represent clonal expansions driven by exogenic immunosuppression, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) ...
Neoantigens are unique markers that distinguish only cancer cells. By adding B cell reactivity, cancer vaccines can move ...
How do high-affinity B cells ever beat the odds? New research now suggests that B cells avoid gambling away good mutations by strategically banking successful ones. As described in Nature, successful ...

A vaccine's ability to generate long-lasting, high-affinity antibodies hinges on a delicate balance. Upon exposure to a vaccine or pathogen, B cells scramble to refine their defenses, rapidly mutating ...
