How memory is retained is an immunological mystery. One possibility, argued here by Fons UytdeHaag and colleagues, is that memory is imprinted in the somatically-mutated Ig expressed by certain CD5+ B cells. The theory proposes that the Ig expressed by this self-renewing population acts as surrogate antigen, selecting and stimulating emerging antigen-specific lymphocytes.
记忆是如何保留的是一个免疫学之谜。方斯·于伊特德哈格及其同事在此提出的一种可能性是,记忆被印记在某些CD5 + B细胞所表达的经体细胞突变的免疫球蛋白(Ig)中。该理论提出,由这群自我更新的细胞所表达的Ig充当替代抗原,选择并刺激新出现的抗原特异性淋巴细胞。
