1072-Tumor-Infiltrating B Cells Across Human Cancers
This research presents a comprehensive pan-cancer atlas of tumor-infiltrating B cells by analyzing data from 269 patients across 20 different cancer types. Using advanced single-cell sequencing technologies, the authors identified 15 distinct B cell subsets and two primary developmental pathways leading to antibody-secreting cells. The study highlights that the extrafollicular pathway is associated with worse clinical outcomes and immunosuppressive environments compared to the canonical germinal center pathway. Researchers discovered that atypical memory B cells serve as key progenitors in…
