In immunology, a memory B cell (MBC) is a type of B lymphocyte that forms part of the adaptive immune system. These cells develop within germinal centers of the secondary lymphoid …

While plasma cells fight bodily invaders by producing antibodies, memory cells help your immune system fight in the future. For example, most vaccines work because they expose your …

Jul 3, 2023 · Here, we review the cellular and molecular mechanisms by which memory B cells are generated and how these processes shape the antibody diversity and breadth of memory …

Feb 7, 2025 · Researchers are working to identify definitive markers for tissue-resident memory B cells and to map the molecular pathways that govern their activity. Gaining a deeper …

Memory B cells are defined as a type of B cell critical for adaptive immunological memory, generated primarily during the germinal center response and capable of initiating a faster and …

Memory B cells are integral components of the adaptive immune system, playing a key role in ensuring swift responses to previously encountered pathogens. Understanding their function is …

Aug 4, 2011 · Toward the end of each battle to stop an infection, some T-cells and B-cells turn into Memory T-cells and Memory B-cells. As you would expect from their names, these cells …

These data are consistent with the fact that ZFP318-expressing MBCs are the functionally dominant B cell memory compartment, and ZFP318 is a master regulator of MBC recallability.

Some of this variation is due to the nature of the antigen, and some appears to be inherent to the process of forming memory. Here, we consider the heterogeneity in development and …

Memory B cells are essential for the effectiveness of many vaccines, as they enable a rapid and heightened antibody response upon subsequent exposure to the vaccine antigen.
