What’s inside
View ResearchDelve into the groundbreaking discovery of a germinal center checkpoint of AIRE in B cells that limits antibody diversification. This study reveals how AIRE, essential for T cell tolerance, interacts with AID to regulate antibody affinity maturation and class switching. The findings highlight AIRE's crucial role in preventing autoimmunity and its potential for generating high-affinity antibodies for immunotherapy.
