Origins and diversity of pan-isotype human bone marrow plasma cells.

Bone marrow plasma cells (BMPCs) produce durable, protective IgM, IgG, and IgA antibodies, and in some cases, pro-allergic IgE antibodies, but their properties and sources are unclear. We charted single BMPC transcriptional and clonal heterogeneity in food-allergic and non-allergic individuals across CD19 protein expression given its inverse correlation to BMPC longevity. Transcriptional and clonal diversity revealed distinct functional profiles.
