Regulatory T cell epitope content in human antibodies decreases during maturation

Regulatory T cell epitope content in human antibodies decreases during maturation

IntroductionAntibody maturation in the lymphoid follicle produces antibodies with improved binding affinity. This process requires iterative rounds of mutation and B cell expansion, supported by T cells that recognize epitopes presented on the B cell’s MHC-II. In this comprehensive antibody repertoi...
