LJI scientists discover molecular mechanism for generating specific antibody responses

(La Jolla Institute for Allergy and Immunology) Follicular helper T cells (Tfh cells), a rare type of T cells, are indispensable for the maturation of antibody-producing B cells. They promote the proliferation of B cells that produce highly selective antibodies against invading pathogens while weeding out those that generate potentially harmful ones.
