Abstract |
In germinal centers (GCs), B cells undergo repeated cycles of proliferation and affinity-based selection, and differentiate into memory B cells or long-lived plasma cells. It has been difficult to elucidate regulatory mechanisms for the dynamic GC B cell maturation and differentiation, partly because experimental manipulation of GC B cells has been limited. Here we describe a culture system in which we can induce massive expansion of naive B cells that exhibit GC B cell-like phenotype and acquire abilities to differentiate into memory B cells or bone marrow plasma cells depending on cytokine conditions. This system will allow us to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of GC B cell differentiation. |
