"In memory T cells, the frequency of CXCR5+CXCR3+CCR6− circulating follicular Th1 was positively correlated with RBD-specific Ab-secreting B cells. For the response to variant RBDs, although 60–80% of memory B cells could bind to the omicron RBD, their avidity was low, whereas memory T cells show an equal response to the omicron spike."

Memory B Cells and Memory T Cells Induced by SARS-CoV-2 Booster Vaccination or Infection Show Different Dynamics and Responsiveness to the Omicron Variant

Key Points. Memory T and B cells are present for long periods with different kinetics.Circulating Tfh cells correlate to the Ab production of B cells.Memory T c
