Systemic-to-mucosal trafficking of memory B cells contributes to humoral immunity in the upper respiratory tract

Eva Piano Mortari, Mattia Laffranchi, Bianca Laura Cinicola…·Rita Carsetti

The paper shows that systemic memory B cells traffic to mucosal sites in the upper respiratory tract, contributing to local immunity, and that antigen-specific B cells accumulate there only during local inflammation.
