Scientists have discovered a way to turn the body's B cells into tiny surveillance machines and antibody factories that can pump out specially designed antibodies to destroy cancer cells or HIV, two ...

Immune cells called B cells make antibodies that fight off invading bacteria, viruses and other foreign substances. During ...

French biotech Innate Pharma is recruiting natural-born killers to target B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL). The company’s tetraspecific antibody controlled tumors and improved survival in mice and ...

Abnormal B cells dictate HIV-specific responses Early treatment linked with greater capacity to maintain pretreatment levels of B-cell response to virus. The cells that produce antibodies to HIV and ...

Single B-cell technologies have emerged as powerful screening tools to accelerate antibody discovery, offering R&D teams the potential to interrogate millions of individual antibody-secreting cells to ...

As a consequence, high-affinity B cell lineages should frequently degrade. Yet studies have repeatedly shown that germinal centers produce high-affinity antibodies with remarkable efficiency. The ...

Researchers headed by a team at Seattle Children’s Research Institute have shown for the first time that engineered human plasma B cells can be used to treat a disease—more specifically leukemia—in a ...

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 ...
