Amount of antigen, T follicular helper cells and affinity of founder cells shape the diversity of germinal center B cells: A computational study

A variety of B cell clones seed the germinal centers, where a selection stringency expands the fitter clones to generate higher affinity antibodies. However, recent experiments suggest that germinal centers often retain a diverse set of B cell clones with a range of affinities and concurrently carry...
