Germinal centres (GC) are sites of B-cell expansion and selection, which are essential for antibody affinity maturation. Compared to naive follicular B-cells, GC B-cells have several notable changes in their cell surface glycans. While these changes are routinely used to identify the GC, functional roles for these changes have yet to be ascribed. Detection of GCs by the antibody GL7 reflects a reduction in the glycan ligands for CD22, which is an inhibitory co-receptor of the B-cell receptor (BCR). To test a functional role for downregulated CD22 ligands in the GC, we generated a mouse model that maintains CD22 ligands on GC B-cells. With this model, we demonstrate that glycan remodeling is crucial for proper GC B-cell response, including plasma cell output and affinity maturation of antibodies. The defect we observe in this model is dependent on CD22, highlighting that coordinated downregulation of CD22 ligands on B cells plays a critical function in the GC. Collectively, our study uncovers a crucial role for glycan remodeling and CD22 in B-cell fitness in the GC.
