🚨 Proud to share our new study in @CellPressNews: B cells producing auto-Abs that neutralize type I IFNs in severe viral infections. Work from AI2B_lab @NeckerInem, @casanova_lab, @GorochovG and Rey’s labs @institutpasteur. doi.org/10.1016/j.cell.2026.…

Our data support a model where T-cell tolerance breakdown drives a germinal center B-cell response against type I IFNs, months to years before severe viral infection.

This silent autoimmune state, revealed upon viral infection, may affect ~0.4% (<70 yrs) to 4% (>70 yrs) of the population and represents a common and global determinant of severe viral disease.

Des scientifiques ont découvert comment l'infection par le variant #Omicron BA.1 remodèle la mémoire immunitaire chez des patients vaccinés, améliorant ainsi les capacités des cellules mémoires à reconnaître le #SARSCOV2 et à le neutraliser.⤵️ presse.inserm.fr/linfection-…

Instead, these long-lived MBCs appeared enriched in a CD21hiCD20hi IgG splenic B cell subset displaying a marginal zone-like NOTCH/MYC-driven signature and harbored long-lasting elongated telomeres.

Overall, our results imply that separate mechanisms such as early telomere elongation, affinity selection during the contraction phase and access to a specific niche contribute to ensuring the functional longevity of MBCs.

Diversity is the key! Our new pre-print shows that the diversity of their repertoire allows memory B cells to control SARS-CoV-2 variants. Thanks to all for this collaborative study! @NeckerInem @institutpasteur @IMRB_Mondor biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
