A late B lymphocyte action in dysfunctional tissue repair following kidney injury and transplantation
Abstract
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.
