Spatiotemporal development of the human T follicular helper cell response to Influenza vaccination

S. Schattgen, J. S. Turner, M. A. Ghonim, J. C. Crawford, A. J. Schmitz, H. Kim, J. Q. Zhou, W. Awad, W. Kim, K. M. McIntire, A. Haile, M. K. Klebert, T. Suessen, W. D. Middleton, S. A. Teefey, , P. Thomas

This study tracks the spatiotemporal dynamics of human T follicular helper (TFH) cells after influenza vaccination, showing clonal expansion, phenotypic changes, and lineage-specific responses over two years.

SARS-CoV-2 Omicron boosting induces de novo B cell response in humans

W. B. Alsoussi, S. K. Malladi, J. Q. Zhou, Z. Liu, B. Ying, W. Kim, A. J. Schmitz, T. Lei, S. C. Horvath, A. J. Sturtz, K. M. McIntire, B. Evavold, F. Han, S. M. Scheaffer, I. F. Fox, , A. H. Ellebedy

This study shows that SARS-CoV-2 boosting induces GC B cell responses and that Omicron-based vaccines can elicit novel epitope-specific antibodies despite antigenic imprinting.

Germinal centre-driven maturation of B cell response to SARS-CoV-2 vaccination

W. Kim, J. Q. Zhou, A. J. Sturtz, S. C. Horvath, A. J. Schmitz, T. Lei, E. Kalaidina, M. Thapa, W. B. Al Soussi, A. Haile, M. K. Klebert, T. Suessen, L. Parra-Rodriguez, P. A. Mudd, W. D. Middleton, , A. H. Ellebedy

This study tracks the maturation of B cell responses to SARS-CoV-2 vaccination, showing that memory B cells and bone marrow plasma cells accumulate somatic hypermutations over time, enhancing antibody avidity.
