Negative feedback by NUR77/Nr4a1 restrains B cell clonal dominance during early T-dependent immune responses
1 Aug 2021
Abstract excerpt
B cell clones compete for entry into and dominance within germinal centers (GCs), where the highest-affinity B cell receptors (BCRs) are selected. However, diverse and low-affinity B cells can enter and reside in GCs for extended periods. To reconcile these observations, we hypothesize that a negative feedback loop may operate within B cells to preferentially restrain high-affinity clones from monopolizing the...
