The structures contain immune cells -- predominantly B cells -- and patients with the structures tend to have better outcomes. While doing her graduate work in Pitt's Program in Microbiology and ...

Researchers have uncovered a critical, previously underappreciated role for B cells in vaccine protection. Best known for producing antibodies, B cells also guide other immune cells, specifically CD8 ...

However, details of the intervening steps, as researchers have learned in the past 65 years, are quite complex — certain cells carry the flu antigen to the immune system, specific immune cells respond ...
