Somatic diversification in the absence of antigen-driven responses is the hallmark of the IgM+ IgD+ CD27+ B cell repertoire in infants
T cell-dependent immune responses develop soon after birth, whereas it takes 2 yr for humans to develop T cell-independent responses. We used this dissociation to analyze the repertoire diversification of IgM(+)IgD(+)CD27(+) B cells (also known as "IgM memory" B cells), comparing these cel...

Zusammenfassung: | T cell-dependent immune responses develop soon after birth, whereas it takes 2 yr for humans to develop T cell-independent responses. We used this dissociation to analyze the repertoire diversification of IgM(+)IgD(+)CD27(+) B cells (also known as "IgM memory" B cells), comparing these cells with switched B cells in children |
