Tuning of plasma cell lifespan by competition explains the longevity and heterogeneity of antibody persistence
1 Mar 2024
Abstract excerpt
Plasma cells that emerge after infection or vaccination exhibit heterogeneous lifespans; most survive for days to months, whereas others persist for decades, providing antigen-specific long-term protection. We developed a mathematical framework to explore the dynamics of plasma cell removal and its regulation by survival factors. Analyses of antibody persistence following hepatitis A and B and HPV vaccination...
