Allograft can induces local chronic inflammation, but how this feeds back to regulating late immunity is still not clear. Here the authors show, by charactering B cell transcriptome landscape dynamic in human allografts and in mouse kidneys transitioning from acute to chronic injury, that late B cell activation is associated with renal dysfunction and inflammation.
