    Abstract

    Germinal centers (GCs) have long been considered sites in which Ig class-switch recombination (CSR) is favored. Roco et al. show that CSR occurs during the initial T cell:B cell interaction prior to GC formation and rapidly declines as B cells differentiate into GC cells and somatic hypermutation commences.
