#58 B cell maturation and class switching with Hamish King

Listen Later

In this episode, we learn about B cell maturation and class switching from

Hamish King. Hamish recently published a
paper on this subject in Science Immunology, where he and his coauthors
analyzed gene expression and antibody repertoire data from human tonsils.
In the episode Hamish talks about some of the interesting B cell states he
uncovered and shares his thoughts on questions such as «When does a B cell
decide to class-switch?» and «Why is the antibody isotype correlated with its
affinity?»
