SUMMARY

Aims: Germinal center reactions in secondary lymphoid tissues are those responsible for the production of high-affinity antibodies and are primarily regulated by CD4+ T cells. However, the biology of CD4+ T cells in secondary lymphoid tissues has not been well described in humans. In particular, the differentiation, localization, and heterogeneity of IL10+ Foxp3- follicular CD4+ T cells (T follicular regulatory type 1, Tfr1 cells), which suppress the germinal center response, remain unresolved. This study aims to describe CD4+ T cells in human secondary lymphoid tissues in detail and to elucidate the differentiation, localization and heterogeneity of IL10+ Foxp3- follicular CD4+ T cells.

Methods: CD4+ T cells (whole or Tfr1-enriched) were isolated from tonsil specimens by FACS and subjected to the following single-cell multi-omics analyses: scRNA-seq, scRNA-TCR-seq, scATAC-RNA-seq. In some experiments, CITE-seq was combined.

Participants/Materials: Chronic tonsillitis 8 cases
