Dock8 mutations cripple B cell immunological synapses, germinal centers and long-lived antibody production.

To identify genes and mechanisms involved in humoral immunity, we did a mouse genetic screen for mutations that do not affect the first wave of antibody to immunization but disrupt response maturation and persistence. The first two mutants identified had loss-of-function mutations in the gene encodi...
