Highly effective vaccines elicit specific, robust, and durable adaptive immune responses. To advance informed vaccine design, it is critical that we understand the cellular dynamics underlying responses to different antigen formats. Here, sought how antigen-specific B T cells were activated participated in within mucosal site. Using a human tonsil organoid model, tracked differentiation kinetics of response influenza virus modalities. Each format elicited distinct cell responses, including differences their magnitude, diversity, phenotype, function, breadth. These culminated substantial changes corresponding antibody response. A major source format-related variability was ability recruit naive vs. memory findings have important implications for design generation protective upper respiratory tract.

Abstract Macrophages are abundant immune cells in the microenvironment of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Macrophage estimation by immunohistochemistry shows varying prognostic significance across studies DLBCL, and does not provide a comprehensive analysis macrophage subtypes. Here, using digital spatial profiling with whole transcriptome CD68+ cells, we characterize macrophages distinct niches reactive lymphoid tissues (RLTs) DLBCL. We reveal transcriptomic differences between within RLTs (light zone /dark zone, germinal center/ interfollicular), disease states (RLTs/ DLBCL), which then use to generate six spatially-derived signatures (MacroSigs). proceed interrogate these MacroSigs DLBCL single-cell RNA-sequencing datasets, gene-expression data from multiple cohorts. show that specific associated cell-of-origin subtypes overall survival This study provides spatially-resolved whole-transcriptome atlas malignant tissues, showing biological clinical significance.

Deciphering cellular components and the spatial interaction network of tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) solid tumors is pivotal for understanding biologically relevant cross-talks and, ultimately, advancing therapies. Multiplexed tissue imaging provides a powerful tool to elucidate complexity in holistic manner. We established cross-validated comprehensive immunophenotyping panel comprising over 121 markers multiplexed using MACSima™ cyclic staining (MICS) alongside an end-to-end analysis workflow. Applying this workflow primary cancer tissues, we characterized heterogeneity, investigated potential therapeutical targets, conducted in-depth profiling cell types states, sub-phenotyped T cells within TIME, scrutinized neighborhoods diverse subsets. Our findings highlight advantage profiling, revealing immunosuppressive molecular signatures tumor-associated myeloid interacting with neighboring exhausted, PD1 high TIME hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

While RORγt + antigen-presenting (RORγt-APCs) were shown program gut microbiota-specific pTreg 5–7 , their definition remains incomplete, the APC responsible tolerance has remained elusive.

ABSTRACT The spatial organization of adaptive immune cells within lymph nodes is critical for understanding responses during infection and disease. Here, we introduce AIR-SPACE, an integrative approach that combines high-resolution transcriptomics with paired, high-fidelity long-read sequencing T B cell receptors. This method enables the simultaneous analysis cellular transcriptomes receptor (AIR) repertoires their native context. We applied AIR-SPACE to mouse popliteal at five distinct time points after Vaccinia virus footpad constructed a comprehensive map developing response. Our revealed heterogeneous activation niches, characterized by Interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) production, early stages infection. At later stages, delineated sub-anatomical structures germinal center (GC) observed evidence antibody-producing plasma differentiate exit GC through dark zone. Furthermore, combining clonotype data lineage tracing, demonstrate clones are shared among multiple GCs same node, reinforcing concept dynamic, interconnected network GCs. Overall, our study demonstrates how can be used gain insight into dynamics lymphoid organs.
