Journal ArticleDOI

Phenotypic Analysis of Antigen-Specific T Lymphocytes

TL;DR: Tetramers of human lymphocyte antigen A2 that were complexed with two different human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-derived peptides or with a peptide derived from influenza A matrix protein bound to peptide-specific cytotoxic T cells in vitro and to T cells from the blood of HIV-infected individuals and correlated well with cytotoxicity assays.
Journal ArticleDOI

Blimp-1 Is Required for the Formation of Immunoglobulin Secreting Plasma Cells and Pre-Plasma Memory B Cells

TL;DR: Mice created with a B cell-specific deletion of prdm1, the gene encoding Blimp-1, show that in response to either TD or TI antigen, serum Ig, short-lived Plasma cells, post-GC plasma cells, and plasma cells in a memory response are virtually absent, demonstrating that Blimp-1 is required for plasmacytic differentiation and Ig secretion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antigen-specific memory b cell development

TL;DR: This work reviews the cellular and molecular regulators of this dynamic process with emphasis on the multiple memory B cell fates that develop in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI

Follicular Helper T Cells: Lineage and Location

TL;DR: Understanding the regulatory functions of Tfh cells in the germinal center and the subsequent regulation of memory B cell responses to antigen recall represent the frontiers of this research area with the potential to alter fundamentally the design of future vaccines.
Journal ArticleDOI

In Vivo–Activated Cd4 T Cells Upregulate Cxc Chemokine Receptor 5 and Reprogram Their Response to Lymphoid Chemokines

TL;DR: It is shown that CXC chemokine receptor (CXCR)5, the receptor for B lymphocyte chemoattractant (BLC), is upregulated on antigen-specific CD4 T cells in vivo when animals are immunized under conditions that promote T cell migration to follicles.
