Article Abstract
Unlabelled: Circulating antibody-secreting cells are present in the peripheral blood of healthy individuals reflecting the continued activity of the humoral immune system. Antibody-secreting cells typically express CD27. Here we describe and characterize a small population of antibody-secreting class switched CD19+CD43+ B cells that lack expression of CD27 in the peripheral blood of healthy subjects. In this study, we characterized CD27-CD43+ cells. We demonstrate that class-switched CD27-CD43+ B cells possess characteristics of conventional plasmablasts as they spontaneously secrete antibodies, are morphologically similar to antibody-secreting cells, show downregulation of B cell differentiation markers, and have a gene expression profile related to conventional plasmablasts. Despite these similarities, we observed differences in IgA and IgG subclass distribution, expression of homing markers, replication history, frequency of somatic hypermutation, immunoglobulin repertoire, gene expression related to Toll-like receptors, cytokines, and cytokine receptors, and antibody response to vaccination. Their frequency is altered in immune-mediated disorders.
Conclusion: we characterized CD27-CD43+ cells as antibody-secreting cells with differences in function and homing potential as compared to conventional CD27+ antibody-secreting cells.

Complex causal association between immune cells and psoriatic arthritis: A bidirectional Mendelian randomization study.

Previous epidemiological research has shown that immune cells have a significant impact on the progression and development of psoriatic arthritis (PsA). However, the causal relationship between immune cell characteristics and PsA remains uncertain. A bidirectional 2-sample Mendelian randomization analysis was conducted, using data from publicly available genome-wide association studies.

B cells located in tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs) may undergo clonal expansion, somatic hypermutation, isotype switching, and tumor-specific antibody production, suggesting that antibody-producing plasma cells may be involved in antitumor immunity. This study used a combination of single-cell sequencing (five samples from our center, and four samples from PRJNA662018) and spatial transcriptome (one sample from our center, and four samples from GSE169379) research methods to investigate the relationship between TLSs and the immunoglobulin repertoire in muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). 405 patients with MIBC from TCGA and 348 patients with metastatic urothelial carcinoma on PD-L1 inhibitor treatment from the IMvigor210 trial were included in this study.

Immunoglobulins (IGs) made by chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) B cells are unique in that they bind themselves (homo-dimerize). This interaction leads to signal transduction with functional consequences that depend on the affinity of homo-dimerization. We have studied the antigen-binding properties of the IGs from a subset of patients with CLL (Subset #4) that homo-dimerize at high affinity.

Background: Protein-polysaccharide conjugate vaccines rely on the induction of T-cell-dependent responses that support germinal center (GC) reactions to potentiate the expansion of antigen-specific memory B-cell (MBC) populations and high-avidity antibody responses. The effects of adjuvants on B-cell and antibody responses are well described for protein antigens but remain largely unexplored for conjugated polysaccharidic antigens.
Methods: We assessed the effects of five adjuvants present in licensed vaccines (AS01, AS03, AS04, and aluminum hydroxide [Alum]) or under clinical evaluation (AS37) on the magnitude and quality of antigen-specific antibody responses and local/systemic B-cell responses.
