Abstract:
In this issue, Tull et al. (https://doi.org/10.1084/jem.20202001) and Kibler et al. (https://doi.org/10.1084/jem.20201952) track human marginal zone B cell development from early progenitors to the memory compartment, addressing changes in age and autoimmunity, the sequence of development in the gut-associated lymphoid tissue, and clonal sharing among memory cells.

15.2K
The adaptive immune response, a sophisticated defense mechanism, relies on the activation and differentiation of B lymphocytes, or B cells. These processes enable our bodies to mount a tailored response against specific pathogens such as bacteria, free virus particles, toxins, and parasites.
When naive B cells encounter a specific antigen that can bind to the B cell receptor (BCR) on their surface, they undergo sensitization to respond to the antigen's presence. Sensitization begins with...

The T and B lymphocytes of the adaptive immune system develop from common lymphoid progenitor cells in the bone marrow. These progenitors give rise to precursors that eventually develop into both T and B lymphocytes. As these precursors mature, they gain the ability to detect and respond to foreign antigens in the body, a process known as immunocompetence. Additionally, these precursors acquire self-tolerance, a process that ensures they do not react to self-antigens. This intricate system...
