B cell activation and plasma cell differentiation are inhibited by de novo DNA methylation

DNA methylation is known to contribute to B cell differentiation, but de novo methylation has not been studied in this context. Here the authors use a conditional Dnmt3a/b knockout mouse to map the function of de novo DNA methylation in B cell differentiation and the development of humoral immunity.
