Do these patients have to be revaccinated?
- refurb 6y agoI’m not a doctor, but I would say yes, you’d lose any acquired immunity since you kill off all the memory b-cells that store that information. But you’d also gain the donor’s immunity, and if they’ve been vaccinated, the recipient would have that immunity as well.
- rnet85 6y agoThat is not correct. Trained B cells are predominantly stored in lymph nodes. You also don’t gain host immunity by marrow transfer.
- enchiridion 6y agoSo B cells are what responsible for learned immunity?
