Generation, expansion, gene delivery, and single-cell profiling in rhesus macaque plasma B cells.
Article in Cell reports methods, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
A key step in developing engineered B cells for therapeutic purposes is evaluation in immunocompetent, large-animal models. Therefore, we developed methods to purify, expand, and differentiate non-human primate (NHP; rhesus macaque) B cells. After 7 days in culture, B cells expanded 10-fold, differentiated into a plasma cell phenotype (CD38, CD138), and secreted immunoglobulin G. Using single-cell sequencing and flow cytometry, we verified the presence of plasma cell genes in differentiated NHP B cells and unearthed less-recognized markers, such as CD59 and CD79A. In contrast with human cells, we found that the immune checkpoint molecule CD274 (PD-L1) and major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules were upregulated in NHP plasma cells in the transcriptional data. Lastly, we established the conditions for efficient transduction of NHP B cells with adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors, achieving a delivery rate of approximately 60%. We envision that this work will accelerate proof-of-concept studies using engineered B cells in NHPs.
