MicroRNA-155 controls affinity-based selection by protecting [c-MYC.sup.+] B cells from apoptosis

The production of high-affinity antibodies by B cells is essential for pathogen clearance. Antibody affinity for antigen is increased through the affinity maturation in germinal centers (GCs). This is an iterative process in which B cells cycle between proliferation coupled with the acquisition of m...
