Malaria-induced interferon-γ drives the expansion of Tbethi atypical memory B cells.
Many chronic infections, including malaria and HIV, are associated with a large expansion of CD21-CD27- 'atypical' memory B cells (MBCs) that exhibit reduced B cell receptor (BCR) signaling and effector functions. Little is known about the conditions or transcriptional regulators driving a...
