PD-1HIGHFollicular CD4 T helper cell subsets residing in lymph node germinal centers correlate with B cell maturation and IgG production in Rhesus macaques

Follicular CD4+ T helper (TFH) cells guide development and maturation of B cells and are crucial for effective antibody responses. Here we found rhesus macaque TFH cells, defined as CXCR5+CD4 T cells, contain two major populations: PD-1INT and PD-1HIGH cells. Of these, PD-1HIGHCD4+ T cells highly c...
