Our new Immunity paper is in print—and that an oil painting I made was chosen for the cover 😊

It visualizes “affinity birth,” the generative force of SHM creating new antibody specificities beyond V(D)J.

Our new paper out this week shows that antibodies don’t just get better at what they already recognize—turns out they can learn something entirely new.

This expands how we think about the adaptive immune system’s creative potential.
