Long-lasting germinal center responses to a priming immunization with continuous proliferation and somatic mutation
2021-12-21
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> Germinal centers (GCs) are the engines of antibody evolution. Using HIV Env protein immunogen priming in rhesus monkeys (RM) followed by a long period without further immunization, we demonstrate GC B cells (B GC ) lasted at least 6 months (29 weeks), all the while maintaining rapid proliferation. A 186-fold B GC cell increase was present by week 10 compared to a conventional immunization. Sing...
