B cells found to be crucial for long-term vaccine protection, new study shows

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 T cells, teaching them how to mount lasting defenses after vaccination.

DMZ – SCIENCE ¦ S. Koller ¦ For the first time, an American study investigates the effectiveness of the BNT162b2 (Pfizer-BioNTech) COVID in the prevention of long COVID in the paediatric population. It examines both the direct protective effect of vaccination and its indirect effects through the prevention of SARS-CoV-2 infections. The results provide valuable insights for the public health sector. Long COVID in children and adolescents Long COV…

The new findings could help improve vaccine effectiveness in some immunocompromised patients. Researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus 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 T cells, teaching them how to mount […] The post B cells found to be crucial for long-term vaccine pr…

New Study Reveals Critical Role of B Cells in Long-Term Vaccine Protection

Researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus have uncovered an unexpected and pivotal role of B cells in the orchestration of long-lasting vaccine-induced immunity. Traditionally recognized for their ability to produce antibodies, B cells have now been shown to function critically as instructors to CD8 T cells, guiding these immune warriors in how to sustain durable and effective defenses post-vaccination. This paradigm-shif…
