Maintenance of immunological memory: a role for CD5+ B cells?
Abstract
How memory is retained is an immunological mystery. One possibility, argued here by Fons UytdeHaag and colleagues, is that memory is imprinted in the somatically-mutated Ig expressed by certain CD5+ B cells. The theory proposes that the Ig expressed by this self-renewing population acts as surrogate antigen, selecting and stimulating emerging antigen-specific lymphocytes.
