Affinity Maturation Is Impaired by Natural Killer Cell Suppression of Germinal Centers

Summary: Somatic hypermutation of immunoglobulin sequences in germinal center (GC) reactions must be optimized to elicit high-affinity, protective antibodies after vaccination. We expose natural killer (NK) cells as robust negative regulators of somatic hypermutation in antigen-reactive B cells. NK...
