Expression of inhibitory receptors by B cells in chronic human infectious diseases restricts responses to membrane-associated antigens
24 Jul 2020
Abstract excerpt
Chronic human infectious diseases, including malaria, are associated with a large expansion of a phenotypically and transcriptionally distinct subpopulation of B cells distinguished by their high expression of a variety of inhibitory receptors including FcγRIIB. Because these B cells, termed atypical memory B cells (MBCs), are unable to respond to soluble antigens, it was suggested that they contributed to the...
