Mature IgM-expressing plasma cells sense antigen and develop competence for cytokine production upon antigenic challenge

Mature IgM-expressing plasma cells sense antigen and develop competence for cytokine production upon antigenic challenge

Plasma cells produce secreted antibodies and are thought to lack expression of the membrane-bound immunoglobulins that constitute B-cell receptors. Here the authors show that IgM-expressing plasma cells maintain B-cell receptor expression and initiate cytokine production following antigen stimulatio...
