Distinct plasmablast developmental intermediates produce graded expression of IgM secretory transcripts by Evelyn P. Sievert, Marissa C. Franke, Kayla B. Thomas, Yoseop Yoon, Yongsheng Shi, Roger Sciammas

“…Summary: Differentiation into plasma cells (PCs) enables secretion of ∼10,000 immunoglobulin molecules per second. This extraordinary capacity requires the upregulation of PC transcriptional determinants that specify PC fate, increase immunoglobulin mRNA synthesis, coordinate alternative 3′ end processing of the heavy chain transcript from the distal to proximal polyadenylation site (PAS), and remodel the secretory pathway. …”
