Abstract

Summary Effective humoral immunity depends on the support of B cell responses by T-follicular helper (Tfh) cells. Whilst it has been proposed that Tfh cell differentiation requires T-B interactions, the relative contribution of specific populations of Ag presenting cells remains unknown. We employed three independent strategies that compromised interactions between CD4+ T cells and activated B cells in vivo. Whereas the expansion of CD4+ T cells was relatively unaffected, Tfh cell differentiation was completely blocked in all scenarios. Surprisingly, augmenting antigen presentation by non-B cells rescued Tfh cell differentiation, as determined by surface phenotype, gene expression and germinal center localization. We conclude that although Ag presentation by responding B cells is typically required for the generation of Tfh cells, this does not result from the provision of a unique B cell-derived signal, but rather because responding B cells rapidly become the primary source of antigen.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
