Clonal dynamics of germinal center refueling by secondary immunization

Luka Mesin, Alvaro Hobbs, Jin-Jie Shen, Juhee Pae, Ariën Schiepers, Nadine H. Abrahamse, Hiromi Muramatsu, Ying K. Tam, Norbert Pardi, Gabriel D. Victora

This study investigates how booster immunizations affect germinal center (GC) clonality in mice, finding that refueling leads to clonal expansion rather than memory recruitment.

Antibody-mediated feedback modulates interclonal competition in the germinal center

Alexandru Barbulescu, Jana Bilanovic, Tom Langelaar, A. Katharina Teetz, Linas Urnavicius, Alvaro Hobbs, Jin-Jie Shen, Nadine H. Abrahamse, Robson Amparo de Carvalho, Luka Mesin, Cecilio L. Ferreira, Juliana Bortolatto, Gabriel D. Victora

The paper investigates how antibodies from an ongoing immune response affect interclonal competition in germinal centers, finding that antibody feedback reduces clones recognizing the same epitopes as circulating antibodies.
