Influenza virus infection expands the breadth of antibody responses through IL-4 signalling in B cells

Influenza virus infection expands the breadth of antibody responses through IL-4 signalling in B cells

The reasons why influenza infection promotes a broader antibody response compared with vaccines are not fully understood. Here the authors show that unmasking of haemagglutinin epitopes and IL-4 signals in the germinal centre contribute to broader antibody responses after infection.
