B cells are a crucial component of immunity, but their function, especially antibody secretion, has largely been studied in the context of secondary lymphoid organs (SLOs) and systemic immune ...

Although N-linked glycans play pivotal roles in the regulation of antibody effector functions, little is known about the composition and functional impact of glycans attached to human B cell receptors ...

However, details of the intervening steps, as researchers have learned in the past 65 years, are quite complex — certain cells carry the flu antigen to the immune system, specific immune cells respond ...

The average human has about 1.8 trillion immune cells. These cells patrol the body for bacteria, viruses, cancers, and other threats. Vaccines enhance this security system by teaching our immune cells ...

Researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science announced Tuesday they have discovered, in a world first, that specialized immune cells known as memory B cells can recognize and attack ovarian cancer ...
