Fibroblastic reticular cells (FRCs) in lymph nodes contribute to peripheral tolerance via MHC-class-II-mediated antigen presentation. Using scRNAseq and protein analysis, we identify BST1+CD200+ FRCs, including the mature T cell-zone FRCs, as key MHC-class-II expressing subsets in mice and humans, highlighting their potential role in immune regulation. ABSTRACT Autoimmunity can be initiated by autoreactive T cells … Read more
