In mice, memory B (B<sub>mem</sub>) cells can be divided into two subpopulations: CD80<sup>hi</sup> B<sub>mem</sub> cells, which preferentially differentiate into plasma cells; and CD80<sup>lo</sup> B<sub>mem</sub> cells, which become germinal center (GC) B cells during a recall response. We demonstrate that these distinct responses can be B-cell-intrinsic and essentially independent of B-cell receptor (BCR) isotypes. Furthermore, we find that the development of CD80<sup>hi</sup> B<sub>mem</sub> ...[more]
