ABSTRACT
Helper T cell induced plasma cells (PCs) that secrete class-switched neutralizing antibody are paramount to effective immunity. Following class-switch recombination (CSR), antigen-activated B cells differentiate into extrafollicular PCs or mature in germinal centers (GCs) to produce high-affinity memory B cells and follicular PCs. Many studies focus on the core transcriptional programs that drive central PC functions of longevity and antibody secretion. However, it is becoming clear that these central programs are further subdivided across antibody isotype with separable transcriptional trajectories. Divergent functions emerge at CSR, persist through PC terminal differentiation and further assort memory PC function following antigen recall. Here, we emphasize recent work that assorts divergent isotype-specific PC function across four major modules of immune protection.
