- Abstract
- Long-lived plasma cells (LLPCs) are durable antibody-producing cells that are key to immunity. Bhattacharya and colleagues find that LLPCs derive their enhanced survival capacity from a higher rate of glucose import. Some of this glucose sustains the cells through glycolysis, while the bulk is required for antibody glycosylation.
