IFN-gene signatures in #Bcells following #influenza A and B virus infection and influenza #vaccination 👉 doi.org/10.1038/s44321-026-00395-8

A study, published in 2008, took blood samples from 32 participants 91-102 years old, aged between 2 and 12 during the 1918 #flu #pandemic.
Did they have #antibodies and #Bcells against 1918 pandemic flu?

" #Rituximab is a biological agent (derived from organic sources) that targets #BCells. It was 1st created to treat cancer, namely lymphoma..Now, it is often used off-label to treat other #medical conditions, such as treatment-resistant #Lupus.": buff.ly/6RFNWrx

This Science Immunology article talks about the #aging immune system!
The Winer lab at @utoronto.ca showed how #Bcells affect #Tcell aging.

natural adenovirus infection
,an adenovirus protein triggers “rogue” antibodies in unlucky people with combination of genetic background a particular mutation in their antibody producing #Bcells. Instead of targeting a viral protein, the rogue antibodies bind to PF4, setting off a dangerous cascade.
☕Scourzic et al. showed that germinal centre #Bcells display an enhanced ability to #reprogram to induced pluripotent stem cells compared to mature B cells. This ability indicates their higher #plasticity level and is T follicular helper cell-dependent.

🧨Mechanisms Linking EBV, B Cells & Demyelination
- human evidence , myelin-reactive #Bcells in the healthy human repertoire &’ observed LMP1 expression in the brain lesions of a subset of MS patients.
-EBV preferentially infects B lymphocytes,
activation antigens,
adhesion molecules & components of the antigen processing pathway,thereby enhancing the antigen-presenting capacity of #Bcells .
This upregulation can lead to increased presentation of self-antigens, including myelin proteins, to T cells
www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
which allows these B cells to survive .Once rescued, these B cells initiate inflammatory demyelination through B cell-receptor or antibody-dependent mechanisms & participate in inflammatory demyelination
#Bcells are implicated in the #pathogenesis of MS,
the viral protein latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1) trigger demyelinating lesions . Normally, these antigen-loaded #Bcells do not traffic to draining lymph nodes & without T cell help, die rapidly.
However, this checkpoint can be overridden by CD40L signaling or by the expression of EBV ‘s LMP1 ,

He later continued with more research into #ClonalSelection of antibodies, the cross-talk between #BCells and #TCells and more. The importance of his discoveries cannot be overstated, and his discoveries laid foundations for modern #immunology.
a process essential for antibody diversification through somatic hypermutation (SHM), class switch recombination (CSR), and gene conversion (GC) in germinal center #Bcells. AID is normally expressed in activated B cells within germinal centers and is tightly regulated to prevent unwanted mutations .
Alzheimer's disease patients have fewer transitional B cells, and in particular they have fewer of the immature transitional B cell compartment.
It does rather seem an emerging theme that #Bcells are associated with #neuroinflammation, such as the huge success of B cell depletion in #MS. 4/8

Virus Turns Quiet B Cells Into Lupus Instigators #Science #HealthandMedicine #InfectiousDiseases #LupusResearch #BCells
A new @stanfordmedicine.bsky.social study provides the strongest evidence so far that #EpsteinBarrVirus #EBV can directly cause #lupus. EBV, which infects about 95% of people, can take over certain #Bcells and trigger a large #autoimmune reaction.

#CARTcell therapy, which targets specific immune cells ( #Bcells), has shown promise in treating autoimmune diseases, including those causing brain inflammation. This was the 1st successful treatment after conventional therapies, such as steroids, plasma exchange & #rituximab, failed.

This imprinting can result in significantly lower levels of #antibodies & #Bcells specifically targeting the unique, mutated regions of the Omicron spike protein vs to individuals who were unvaccinated & experienced an Omicron primary infection.
