Limited clonal relatedness between gut IgA plasma cells and memory B cells after oral immunization
The presence of long-lived memory IgA-producing B cells in the intestine has been difficult to document. Here the authors show that these cells can be induced by oral but not systemic immunization in mice, and characterize unique features that distinguish them from IgA plasma cells.
