The qualities of antibody (Ab) responses provided by B lymphocytes and their plasma cell (PC) descendants are crucial facets of responses to vaccines and microbes. Metabolic processes and products regulate aspects of B cell proliferation and differentiation into germinal center (GC) and PC states...

The germinal center (GC) is a microanatomical compartment wherein high-affinity antibody-producing B cells are selectively expanded. B cells proliferate and mutate their antibody genes in the dark zone (DZ) of the GC and are then selected by T cells in the light zone (LZ) on the basis of affinity. H...

PRDM family members are sequence-specific transcriptional regulators involved in cell identity and fate determination and are often dysregulated in cancer. The PRDM15 gene is of particular interest, given its relatively low expression in adult tissues and its overexpression in follicular lymphomas (...

We conducted comprehensive (untargeted) metabolic profiling of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted in culture by bacterial taxa Francisella tularensis (F. tularensis) subspecies novicida and Bacillus anthracis (B. anthracis) Sterne, surrogates for potential bacterial bioterrorism agents, as we...

The mechanisms involved in the maintenance of memory IgE responses are poorly understood, and the role played by germinal center (GC) IgE cells in these memory responses is particularly unclear. IgE B-cell differentiation is characterized by a transient GC phase, a bias towards the plasma cell (PC) ...

We used a RAG2-GFP reporter mouse to show that RAG+ B lineage cells can be found in the small intestinal lamina proria in normally-housed mice at weaning age. We used microarry expression analysis to compare the RAG2+ population in the gut to the RAG2+ B lineage population in the bone marrow. Microa...

There is an urgent unmet need in solid organ transplantation for immunotherapeutic strategies that target B cells and plasma cells, ideally without increasing infectious complications. We conducted a phase 2 double-blind randomised placebo-controlled trial to assess the safety and potential efficacy...

Purpose: Human papilloma virus (HPV) associated head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) has a better prognosis than HPV(-) negative cancer. This may be due, in part, to the higher number of tumour infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) in HPV(+) tumours. We used RNAseq to evaluate whether these differ...

Intrachromosomal amplification of chromosome 21 (iAMP21) defines a distinct subgroup of childhood B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL) shown to have a dismal outcome on standard therapy. For improved diagnosis and prognosis of these patients, the initiating genetic events need to ...
