B cell memory: building two walls of protection against pathogens
Open accessAbstract
Surviving a single infection often results in lifelong immunity to the infecting pathogen. Such protection is mediated, in large part, by two main B cell memory 'walls' - namely, long-lived plasma cells and memory B cells. The cellular and molecular processes that drive the production of long-lived plasma cells and memory B cells are subjects of intensive research and have important implications for global health. Indeed, although nearly all vaccines in use today depend on their ability to induce B cell memory, we have not yet succeeded in developing vaccines for some of the world's most deadly diseases, including AIDS and malaria. Here, we describe the two-phase process by which antigen drives the generation of long-lived plasma cells and memory B cells and highlight the challenges for successful vaccine development in each phase.

TH1 and TH2 cell responses support B cell activation and differentiation for antigen-specific antibody production and long-term memory development through germinal cell responses.
“TH1 and TH2 cell responses support B cell activation and differentiation for antigen-specific antibody production and long-term memory development through germinal cell responses34,35.”
From An Omicron-specific, self-amplifying mRNA booster vaccine for COVID-19: a phase 2/3 randomized trial (2024) · cites this paper as [35]
The Phase 1 section on antigen-driven differentiation of naive B cells says that T-helper-cell interactions support pathogen-specific antibody production and germinal-centre B-cell differentiation into long-lived plasma cells and memory B cells. It identifies T follicular helper (TFH) cells as providing crucial help in germinal centres, however, not TH1 and TH2 responses specifically. The named cell subsets are therefore not supported by this source. (LLM, conf=0.88)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredMemory B and T cells can be rapidly reactivated upon exposure, resulting in enhanced control of initial viral replication and limiting viral dissemination.
“In such cases, memory B and T cells can be rapidly reactivated, resulting in the enhanced control of initial viral replication and limiting viral dissemination in the host (24, 25).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
