B cells found to be crucial for long-term vaccine protection, new study shows The new findings could help improve vaccine effectiveness in some immunocompromised patients Date: April 23, 2025 ...

Our B cells help prevent us from getting sick. Their job is to make antibodies, immune system proteins that fight off viruses and other foreign invaders. And they make a lot of antibodies ...

RAG-17 aims to slow or halt the progression of SOD1-ALS. Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease affecting nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord ...

Genetically-engineered B cells, the cells that make our bodies' antibodies, will be harnessed to treat a rare disease. During the covid-19 pandemic, antibodies played a front-and-center role.

A “complete eradication” of B cells with chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy is responsible for the long-term, drug-free remission from autoimmune diseases observed after treatment ...

B cell biohack: Immune cells to churn out custom antibodies 'We think we'll be able to completely customize everything about the antibody.' Date: July 22, 2024 Source: University of Southern ...

Recently, researchers found that cells that help the immune system remember vaccinations and natural infections may be involved. These memory B cells produce a different class of antibodies known ...

Described today in the journal Science Translational Medicine, the finding gives oncologists a new target for developing immunotherapies: double negative memory B cells, so-called because they are ...

In a new study, researchers examined the efficacy and impact of CD19 CAR T cell therapy on B cells, specifically exploring its ability to deplete B cells in deep tissues and understand the therapeutic ...

The study found that in the absence of B cells, CD8 T cells become overly active too early, burning out quickly and failing to develop into memory cells that provide long-term protection. This ...
