The dura mater acts as an autonomous B cell niche supporting immune responses during chronic Trypanosoma brucei infection

ABSTRACT: The dura mater hosts a rich population of B cell progenitors, yet its capacity to sustain B cell development during systemic lymphopenia remains unclear. Using Trypanosoma brucei infection, which induces peripheral B cell depletion, we demonstrate that the murine dura mater maintains intact B cell lymphopoiesis independently of bone marrow and spleen. We performed a comparative single cell transcriptomic profiling of the calvaria bone marrow, femur bone marrow, and dura mater from naive and Trypanosoma brucei-infected female mice. The sequencing rendered high quality data from the calvaria bone marrow and the dura mater, but the femur bone marrow failed to generated reliable data and was thus excluded from downstream analyses. This data is single-cell RNA sequencing using Parse Biosciences
