How Germinal Centers Generate Antibodies Through Noisy Rounds of Mutation and Selection
A study tracking thousands of B cells across more than 100 germinal centers (GCs) in mice has revealed how the system consistently produces highly effective antibodies. The findings overturn longstanding ideas about how germinal centers function, revealing that they are far more selective than once thought, and challenge the idea that antibody improvement is driven mainly by rare growth “bursts” among the most successful B cells. The discovery could have implications for immune cell evolution, and ultimately guide the design of vaccines against rapidly mutating pathogens like influenza. It could also lead to new ways of studying evolution itself.
