Abstract

The antigen-B-cell-receptor interaction is the driving force of terminal B cell development that spans from B cell activation to antibody secreting plasma cells. Here authors determine, using DNA-PAINT super-resolution microscopy, how antigen affinity and valency define antigen binding to BCR in an in vitro system allowing precision control of these parameters.
