The regulation of antibody production is linked to the generation and maintenance of
plasmablasts and plasma cells from their B cell precursors. Plasmablasts are the rapidly …

Plasma cells provide humoral immunity. They have traditionally been viewed mainly as short-
lived end-stage products of B-cell differentiation that deserve little interest. This view is …

Antibodies produced by antibody-secreting plasma cells (ASCs) underlie multiple forms of
long-lasting immunity. Here we examined the mechanisms regulating ASC turnover and …

Plasma cells are the terminally differentiated, non-dividing effector cells of the B-cell lineage.
They are cellular factories devoted to the task of synthesizing and secreting thousands of …

Antibody responses to viral infections are sustained for decades by long-lived plasma cells
(LLPCs). However, LLPCs have yet to be characterized in humans. Here we used CD19 …

Simple Summary Multiple Myeloma (MM) is a hematologic malignancy caused by aberrant
plasma cell proliferation in the bone marrow (BM) and constitutes the second most common …

Malignant cells from at least 23 different types of cancer express the chemokine receptor
CXCR4 and respond to its ligand CXCL12. This receptor ligand pair appears to be involved …

▪ Abstract Secondary lymphoid organs serve as hubs for the adaptive immune system,
bringing together antigen, antigen-presenting cells, and lymphocytes. Two families of G …

While blood antibodies mediate protective immunity in most organs, whether they protect
nasal surfaces in the upper airway is unclear. Using multiple viral infection models in mice …

It is now well accepted that plasma cells can become long-lived (memory) plasma cells and
secrete antibodies for months, years or a lifetime. However, the mechanisms involved in this …
