Malaria-associated atypical memory B cells exhibit markedly reduced B cell receptor signaling and effector function

Malaria-associated atypical memory B cells exhibit markedly reduced B cell receptor signaling and effector function

Protective antibodies in Plasmodium falciparum malaria are only acquired after years of repeated infections. Chronic malaria exposure is associated with a large increase in atypical memory B cells (MBCs) that resemble B cells expanded in a variety of persistent viral infections. Understanding the fu...
