Deskripsi

The development of activated B cells into antibody-secreting cells (ASC) is a critical step for humoral immunity. Here the authors show, using adoptive transfers and single cell RNA sequencing, that commitment to ASC occurs soon following B cell activation, and is coordinated by specific transcriptome programs and proliferation kinetics.
