Cells that are developmentally intermediate between immature bone marrow (BM) B lineage cells and fully mature naive B cells in the peripheral blood (PB) and secondary lymphoid tissues are termed ‘transitional B cells’. This term was first used in the mouse in 1995. It is postulated that the transitional cells, after leaving the BM, are subjected to peripheral checks to prevent the production of autoantibodies.<ref>Wardemann H, Yurasov S, Schaefer A, Young JW, Meffre E, Nussenzweig MC.

As in the mouse, human transitional cells can be found in the bone marrow, peripheral blood, and spleen. However, in contrast to the nuanced models proposed in the mouse, thus far human studies have, by and large, described a rather homogenous population of transitional B cells (T1/T2) defined by the expression of high levels of CD24, C38 and CD10.<ref> |

Transitional B cells are B cells at an intermediate stage in their development between bone-marrow (BM) immature cells and mature B cells in circulation. Primary B cell development takes place in the bone marrow, where immature B cells must generate a functional B cell receptor (BCR) and overcome negative selection induced by reactivity with autoantigens.[1]
Cells that are developmentally intermediate between immature bone marrow (BM) B lineage cells and fully mature naive B cells in the peripheral blood (PB) and secondary lymphoid tissues are termed ‘transitional B cells’. This term was first used in the mouse in 1995. It is postulated that the transitional cells, after leaving the BM, are subjected to peripheral checks to prevent the production of autoantibodies.[2] Transitional B cells that survive selection against autoreactivity develop eventually into naive B cells.[3] Given the fact that only a small fraction of immature B cells survive the transition to the mature naive stage, the transitional B cell compartment is widely believed to represent a key negative selection checkpoint for autoreactive B cells.[4][5] All transitional B cells are heat-stable antigen (HSA) relative to their mature counterparts and express the phenotypic surface markers AA4.[6]
