Abstract
Human IgM+ IgD+ CD27+ B cells have mutated Ig genes and harbor a splenic marginal zone (MZ) phenotype. In this issue, the group of R. Küppers has studied the expression of the enzyme activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) in human spleen samples by immunocytochemistry and failed to detect a significant AID-expressing subset in the MZ region. The consequences on the possible origin of these cells are discussed.Entities:
