Early-life human lymphopoiesis generates a distinct B-cell lineage
We characterize the first wave of human B-lymphopoiesis across gestation (n=42 donors) and identify a developmentally and functionally distinct B-cell lineage that shapes antibody specificity before birth. The earliest lymphoid progenitors engage an evolutionarily conserved genetic program enriched for imprinted genes associated with embryogenesis in mice and humans. These progenitors arise in…
