The paper identifies a GC-independent memory B cell subset derived from B1 cells that contributes to protective immunity against viral infection.

This paper develops a nanoparticle-based junctional vaccine targeting PfCSP and compares its efficacy to the R21 vaccine in reducing malaria liver burden in mice.

The paper investigates how B cell affinity affects germinal center (GC) responses by showing high-affinity B cells have shorter GC residence times and lower-affinity B cells are maintained, suggesting an antibody feedback mechanism that modulates affinity and epitope spreading.

This study shows that a single immunization with a germline-targeting trimer can induce broad HIV-1 neutralizing antibodies in a rhesus macaque bnAb mouse model.
