EAF2 mediates germinal centre B-cell apoptosis to suppress excessive immune responses and prevent autoimmunity
EAF2 has been previously known as a transcriptional elongation factor and a proapoptotic gene lost in prostate cancer. Here the authors show that EAF2 is required for apoptosis of germinal centre B cells, and that EAF2-deficient mice develop excessive antibody responses and autoimmunity.
