The results of this paper clearly show that non-cognate retrieval of immune complexed antigen by follicular B cells from subcapsular sinus (SCS) macrophages represents a mechanism for transfer of such antigen to follicular dendritic cells (FDCs). This transfer of immune complexed antigen by follicular B cells is fundamentally important...
