Abstract
Vaccines generate long-lived plasma cells and memory B cells (Bmems) that may re-enter secondary germinal centers (GCs) to further mutate their B cell receptor upon boosting and re-exposure to antigen. We show in mouse models that lymph nodes draining the site of primary vaccination harbor a subset of Bmems that reside in the subcapsular niche, generate larger recall responses, and are more likely to re-enter GCs compared with circulating Bmems in non-draining lymph nodes. This location-dependent recall of Bmems into the GC in the draining lymph node was dependent on CD169+ subcapsular sinus macrophages (SSMs) in the subcapsular niche. In human participants, boosting of the BNT162b2 vaccine in the same arm generated more rapid secretion of broadly neutralizing antibodies, GC participation, and clonal expansion of SARS-CoV-2-specific B cells than boosting of the opposite arm. These data reveal an unappreciated role for primed draining lymph node SSMs in Bmem cell fate determination.
期刊介绍:
Cells is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal that focuses on cell biology, molecular biology, and biophysics. It is affiliated with several societies, including the Spanish Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (SEBBM), Nordic Autophagy Society (NAS), Spanish Society of Hematology and Hemotherapy (SEHH), and Society for Regenerative Medicine (Russian Federation) (RPO).
The journal publishes research findings of significant importance in various areas of experimental biology, such as cell biology, molecular biology, neuroscience, immunology, virology, microbiology, cancer, human genetics, systems biology, signaling, and disease mechanisms and therapeutics. The primary criterion for considering papers is whether the results contribute to significant conceptual advances or raise thought-provoking questions and hypotheses related to interesting and important biological inquiries.
In addition to primary research articles presented in four formats, Cells also features review and opinion articles in its "leading edge" section, discussing recent research advancements and topics of interest to its wide readership.
