Abstract

van der Poel et al. show that follicular dendritic cells (FDCs) can regulate germinal center diversity through FcγRIIB. In the absence of this receptor, germinal centers appear more diverse. In addition, the loss of FcγRIIB on FDCs leads to the persistence of IgM clones with decreased levels of somatic hypermutation.
