Germinal center checkpoints in B cell tolerance in 3H9 transgenic mice.
International immunology - 1 Feb 2004

Abstract excerpt
Regulation throughout B cell maturation and activation prevents autoreactive B cells from entering germinal center (GC) reactions. This study shows that a subset of autoreactive B cells in V(H)3H9 micro IgH transgenic mice escapes these serial checkpoints and proceeds into splenic GC. GC B cells...
