Germinal centers

GD Victora, MC Nussenzweig - Annual review of immunology, 2012 - annualreviews.org
Germinal centers (GCs) were described more than 125 years ago as compartments within
secondary lymphoid organs that contained mitotic cells. Since then, it has become clear that …

CREBBP Inactivation Promotes the Development of HDAC3-Dependent Lymphomas

Y Jiang, A Ortega-Molina, H Geng, HY Ying, K Hatzi… - Cancer discovery, 2017 - AACR
Somatic mutations in CREBBP occur frequently in B-cell lymphoma. Here, we show that loss

Germinal center‐derived lymphomas: The darkest side of humoral immunity

C Mlynarczyk, L Fontán, A Melnick - Immunological reviews, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
One of the unusual features of germinal center (GC) B cells is that they manifest many
