Evidence for a Large Compartment of IgM-Expressing Memory B Cells in Humans
15 Feb 1997
Abstract excerpt
The recent finding of somatically mutated mu heavy chain transcripts in human peripheral blood (PB) B lymphocytes suggests that T-dependent B-cell memory might not be restricted to class-switched cells. We provide here evidence that IgM-only PB B cells are likely to be the IgM-expressing counterpart of classical (IgM- IgD-) memory B cells in humans. As shown by molecular single cell analysis, most IgM-only cells...
