Researchers identify the plasma cell-prone B cells in the light zone of germinal centers. Higher expression of the proteins ICAM-1 and SLAM in those cells facilitates more stable contacts with Tfh cells, suggesting that strength of Tfh-GC B cell interaction critically regulates formation of plasma cell precursors. The findings serve as important information for the development of effective vaccines against viral infection.
