Germinal Centers

Gabriel D. Victora et al.

Summary: This paper reviews recent developments in the field of germinal center (GC) biology, specifically in GCs induced by infection or immunization. It summarizes the phenotype and function of different cell types in the GC, focusing on GC B cells. It also examines the cellular and molecular basis of affinity-dependent selection within the GC and the export of memory and plasma cells. Additionally, it provides an overview of the emerging field of GC clonal dynamics and its impact on the diversity of antibodies secreted into serum.

Migratory cues controlling B-lymphocyte trafficking in human lymph nodes

Saem Mul Park et al.

Summary: The study found subtle but important differences in B-cell migration within human lymph nodes compared to mouse models, particularly in the expression of CXCL13 and S1P gradients. CXCL13 was prominently expressed at the follicular edge in human lymph nodes, and CD68(+)CD11c(+)PU.1(+) tingible body macrophages were identified as likely drivers of B-cell egress.

Highly Multiplexed Immunohistochemical MALDI-MS Imaging of Biomarkers in Tissues

Gargey Yagnik et al.

Summary: The study introduces a new technology for highly multiplexed immunohistochemistry (IHC) based on novel photocleavable mass-tags (PC-MTs). This approach significantly exceeds the multiplexity of standard fluorescence and previous cleavable mass-tag-based methods, allowing for up to 12-plex MALDI-IHC on various tissue specimens. MALDI-IHC shows promise for applications in tissue pathology, diagnostics, therapeutics, and precision medicine.

In Situ Characterization of Follicular Helper CD4 T Cells Using Multiplexed Imaging

Kalliopi Ioannidou et al.

Summary: This study utilized a quantitative multiplexed immunofluorescence approach to comprehensively characterize Tfh cells in human tonsils and lymph nodes. Different subsets of Tfh cells were identified at tissue level based on differential expression of surface receptors and nuclear factors. Moreover, significant differences in Tfh cell profile signatures between health and disease were revealed.

Acquisition of optimal TFH cell function is defined by specific molecular, positional, and TCR dynamic signatures

Kartika Padhan et al.

Summary: The development of follicular helper CD4 T cells is a dynamic process leading to heterogeneous subsets. Human TFH differentiation involves significant changes in various aspects, including phenotype, chemokine expression, functional changes, metabolism, and transcriptional profile. Differentiation of TFH cells is associated with distinct positioning to follicular proliferating B cells, with specific PD-1hiCD57hi TFH cells having unique programming and spatial positioning for optimal GC B cell help.

In Situ Characterization of Human Lymphoid Tissue Immune Cells by Multispectral Confocal Imaging and Quantitative Image Analysis; Implications for HIV Reservoir Characterization

Eirini Moysi et al.

Summary: CD4 T cells play a key role in adaptive immune responses during infections and vaccinations, with Tfh cells providing critical help to B-cells and contributing to HIV reservoir maintenance. Understanding the tissue-specific microenvironment and immune cell subsets that affect Tfh cell differentiation is important for designing effective prevention and cure strategies. The application of multispectral confocal microscopy and immunofluorescence panels offers a comprehensive approach for analyzing immune cell targets in lymphoid tissues.

Lipidomic Typing of Colorectal Cancer Tissue Containing Tumour-Infiltrating Lymphocytes by MALDI Mass Spectrometry Imaging

Vanna Denti et al.

Summary: Predicting the prognosis of colorectal cancer patients is challenging, but characterizing the tumor immune environment is crucial. This study explored using spatial lipidomics by MALDI-MSI to distinguish CRC tissue based on TIL content, successfully identifying three lipid signals with the greatest impact on differentiation. Overall, the study suggests that lipidomics MALDI-MSI could be a promising tool for subtyping the diverse immune environments in CRC.

Spatially resolved 3D metabolomic profiling in tissues

Shambavi Ganesh et al.

Summary: Researchers presented a three-dimensional spatially resolved metabolomic profiling framework (3D-SMF) to map out the spatial organization of metabolic fragments and protein signatures in immune cells of human tonsils. Various analyses were conducted to explore the relationships between metabolic and cellular features, revealing spatially distinct lipidomic fragment distributions in lymphatic tissue. The 3D-SMF pipeline impacts the study of immune cells in health and disease.
