Our latest study by PhD student #RomainGailleton shows that upon #influenza infection, #Bcell can respond rapidly by forming ectopic #GerminalCenter within the nasal tissue.
The work has just been published in @pnas.org (1/N)

1/ Hot off the press in @jimmunol.bsky.social. We investigated how same side (ipsilateral) vs alternate side (contralateral) prime-boost vaccination impacts germinal center (GC) dynamics & antibody responses against SARS-CoV-2 spike in mice.💉🦠#immunology #vaccines @thedohertyinst.bsky.social

New research from @thedohertyinst.bsky.social suggests that receiving multiple doses of a vaccine in the same limb leads to faster antibody development, an important strategy for providing #immunity quickly during a pandemic or disease #outbreak. #ReadTheJI #immunology

Modulation of germinal center and antibody dynamics via ipsilateral versus contralateral immunization against SARS-CoV-2
Abstract. Human clinical trials have reported immunological outcomes can differ between ipsilateral (same side) and contralateral (alternate sides) prime-b
