Memory B cells (MBCs) expressing the transcription factor T-bet have been described in normal and dysregulated immune responses. In this issue of Immunity, Johnson et al. report that T-bet MBCs, formed in response to a primary influenza infection, contribute to protective antibody titers and persist mainly in the spleen with restricted trafficking between tissues.
表达转录因子 T-bet 的记忆 B 细胞(MBCs)已在正常和失调的免疫反应中被描述。在本期《免疫》中,Johnson 等人报告称,针对原发性流感感染形成的 T-bet MBCs 有助于保护性抗体滴度,并主要存在于脾脏中,在组织间的迁移受到限制。
