Tfh dysfunction is associated with poor responses to HBV vaccination

Han M. Chen, Elizabeth Severa, Xiaomin Yao…·Ramin S. Herati

HBV vaccine-draining lymph node biopsies tie low antibody titers to reduced, interferon-skewed GNG4+ germinal center T follicular helper cells; public B cell clonotypes did not track response.
