Publication by Muri et al.: Peroxisomes are critical for the development and maintenance of Bq and marginal zone B cells but dispensable for follicular B cells and T cells.

Although peroxisomes are thought to be a vital compartment in many cell types, we found that peroxisome-deficiency did not affect the generation and response of T cells and follicular B cells. However, development of innate-like B cells and antibody responses to bacteria rely on peroxisomes.
