IL-2 imprints human naive B cell fate towards plasma cell through ERK/ELK1-mediated BACH2 repression

T cells help B cells to differentiate into antibody-producing plasma cells. Here the authors show that T cells produce interleukin-2 to activate ERK/ELK1 and suppress BACH2 expression by modulating the BACH2 super-enhancer, thereby altering BACH2 downstream transcription programs for plasma cell dif...
