Study suggests that recall of B cell memory may depend on relative locations of prime and boost immunization

A new study investigated whether a specific population of local Bmem cells in the proximal LNs produce secondary GC responses that are different from those at distal sites and if the location in humoral immunity is relevant only to nonlymphoid tissues.

Largest study to date on the effect of vaccination on long-COVID

In a recent study published in the British Medical Journal, researchers evaluated the association between coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination and long COVID symptoms among adults residing in United Kingdom (UK) communities with positive COVID-19 history before vaccination.

Study reveals how ZBP1 could lead to a cytokine storm during COVID-19

Scientists from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have shown that the innate immune sensor, ZBP1, and its associated inflammatory cell death pathway, PANoptosis, are major contributors to the negative effects of interferon treatment and high interferon levels in some COVID-19 patients.

Natural immunity weak and short-lived in unvaccinated after Omicron infection

In a recent study posted to the journal Nature, researchers showed that the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Omicron infection without SARS-CoV-2 vaccination conferred poor cross-variant neutralizing capacities.

Parental hesitancy and childhood COVID vaccination

A recent article under review at Nature Portfolio and posted to the Research Square* preprint server explored the opinions of adults on vaccinating children against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).

20 May 2022

Studies provide insight into how long COVID-19 immunity lasts and nature of immune recall

How does the immune system remember and recognize viral invaders it has encountered in the past? A trio of newly published studies of people infected with SARS-CoV-2, vaccinated against the virus or both, are providing tantalizing new clues about the factors that influence the speed and magnitude of the immune system's response to subsequent infection with variants of SARS-CoV-2.
