Antigen Receptor Specificity and Cell Location Influence the Diversification and Selection of the B-1a Cell Pool with Age

Abstract: B-1a cells provide immediate and essential protection from infection through production of natural immunoglobulin, which is germline-like due to minimal insertion of N-region additions. We have previously demonstrated peritoneal B-1a cell derived phosphorylcholine (PC)-specific and total IgM moves away from germline (as evidenced by an increase in N-additions) with age as a result of selection. In young mice, anti-phosphatidylcholine (PtC) antibodies, like anti-PC antibodies, contain few N-additions, and have … Show more
