Researchers at McMaster University and the Danish pharmaceutical company ALK-Abello have discovered a new type of memory B cell with unique features and a unique genetic signature that could be a ...

A type of antibody long thought to have a minor role in immune system memory may actually be a key player, new findings suggest. Researchers tracked the antibody's function by imaging the immune ...

Memory B cells and long-lived bone marrow-resident plasma cells maintain humoral immunity. Little is known about the intrinsic mechanisms that are essential for forming memory B cells or endowing them ...
