Multiplexed antigen panel analysis identifies B cell phenotype and receptor genetic contributions to antibody breadth
Keywords SARS-CoV-2 B cell mRNA vaccination infection COVID-19 antibody B cell receptor antigen-specific B cell atypical B cell viral variants single-cell transcriptome Introduction The appearance and global spread of SARS-CoV-2 (CoV-2) and its variants selected for their immune evasiveness has been well-documented.1,2,3 The spread of a novel virus in initially immunologically naive hosts provided a unique opportunity to study the formation of new B cell and T cell memory pools.4,5,6 The...
Allergy discordant twins do not exhibit differences in gene expression in non‐switched and switched B cells
To the Editor, Allergy is a globally spread affliction that is based on dysregulation of immune responses towards ‘harmless’ antigens.1 B cells and their regulation are also involved in mechanisms of allergic diseases.2, 3 They produce the IgE essential for allergen-induced mast cell and basophil degranulation.4 The common consensus is that the regulation of B cells is closely tied to tolerance and allergy.2, 5 In allergy, this regulation is likely dysfunctional, resulting in different B-cell...
Distinct and mutually exclusive Ca2+ flux‐ and adenylyl cyclase‐inducing gene expression profiles of G‐protein‐coupled receptors on human antigen‐specific B cells
B cells play an essential role in allergies by producing allergen-specific IgE, which is a prerequisite for allergen-induced degranulation of mast cells (MCs) and basophils. MCs, basophils, dendritic cells and bacteria are capable of secreting inflammatory mediators including histamine.1 Histamine is a bioactive amine that exerts its function through binding to histamine receptors (HRs), which are 7-transmembrane G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs).
Watch, Read, Listen: 10 Ways to Learn More About the AAPI Community
May is Asian Pacific American Heritage Month — an opportunity to celebrate the many different types of cultures within the community. One of the best ways for people to learn more about the Asian American experience and amplify Asian voices is to sit down with a book, film, or podcast that teaches us new perspectives.
View the AAC's Resources for Violence Against Asians
ANTI-ASIAN HATE RESOURCES AAC’s Community Action Guide Staff at the Asian American Commission created this Community Action Guide to help the community respond to the rise in hate incidents against the AAPI community. Violence against Asians, Asian American racism, and xenophobia is not a new phenomenon. It has been part of American history for a long time, and we have seen it manifested against different Asian/American and Pacific Islander communities in many ways over the years.

The first time I traveled to China and marveled over the terra cotta warriors in Xian, walked The Bund and French Concession in Shanghai, and gazed down on the Forbidden City in Beijing, I finally understood how rich and complex China’s history truly is. So it’s not surprising that there are so many books about China and its history.
