Details about IgE-producing B cells in the gut in the context of food allergy are scarce, despite the frequent exposure of the gut and its associated lymphoid tissues to dietary antigens. A new study finds that IgE-producing B cells are enriched in gut tissues and are probably generated from local antibody isotype switching.
尽管肠道及其相关淋巴组织频繁接触饮食抗原,但关于食物过敏背景下肠道中产生IgE的B细胞的详细信息却很少。一项新研究发现,产生IgE的B细胞在肠道组织中富集,并且可能由局部抗体同种型转换产生。
