Abstract excerpt
Immunological memory is the phenomenon whereby B and T cells have the unique ability to respond with heightened kinetics and efficacy to subsequent encounter with Ag relative to the initial exposure. In this review, we examine recent developments in the phenotypic characterisation of memory B cells, with an emphasis on the definition and functional properties of memory B-cell subsets in humans.
