This study shows that IgD's long hinge increases entropic cost in antigen binding, reducing negative selection and raising the threshold for germinal center entry.

This study meta-analyzes the impact of viral infections on insect fitness, finding significant fitness reductions, especially in non-vector insects.

The paper examines HIV-1 expression in CD4+ T cell clones with latent proviruses, finding heterogeneous expression and limited response to latency reversing agents.

This study examines memory and germinal center B cell responses in rhesus macaques after booster immunization, finding that high affinity memory B cells form a reservoir that participates in immune development regardless of boosting site.

This study examines transcription of HIV-1 at sites of intact latent provirus integration in T cells, finding that latent proviral promoters are significantly less active than in productively infected cells and have minimal impact on neighboring gene expression.
