Longitudinal analysis of FcRL5 expression and clonal relationships among classical and atypical memory B cells following malaria

Abstract Background Chronic and frequently recurring infectious diseases, such as malaria, are associated with expanded populations of atypical memory B cells (MBCs). These cells are different from classical MBCs by the lack of surface markers CD21 and CD27 and increased expression of inhibitory rec...

IgM+ atypical MBCs showed few connections with other B cell subsets, higher turnover than IgG+ atypical MBCs, and were predominantly derived from naïve B cells and FcRL5− IgM+ classical MBCs.
