University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and UPMC Hillman Cancer Center scientists have discovered a novel subset of cancer-fighting immune cells that reside outside of their normal neighborhood.

The finding gives oncologists a new target for developing immunotherapies: double negative memory B cells.

B cells are white blood cells, produced in the bone marrow, that neutralize pathogens.
