The human lung carries a unique microbiome adapted to the air-filled, mucus-lined environment, the presence of which requires an immune system capable of recognizing harmful populations while preventing reactions towards commensals. B cells in the lung play a key role in pulmonary immunity, generating antigen specific antibodies as well as cytokine secretion for immune activation and regulation. Here we compared B cell subsets in human lungs versus circulating cells by analyzing patient-paired lung and blood samples. We found a significantly smaller pool of CD19+, CD20+ B cells in the lung relative to the blood. CD27+, IgD−, class-switched memory B cells (CS Bmem) composed a larger proportion of the pool of pulmonary B cells. The residency marker CD69 was also significantly higher in the lung. We also sequenced the immunoglobulin variable region genes (IgVRGs) of CS Bmem that do, or do not, express CD69. We observed the IgVRGs of pulmonary Bmem to be as heavily mutated from the unmutated common ancestor (UCA) as those in circulation. Furthermore, we found progeny within a quasi-clone can gain or lose CD69 expression, regardless of whether the parent clone expressed the residency marker or not. Overall, our results show that despite its vascularized nature, human lungs carry a unique proportion of B cell subsets. The IgVRGs of pulmonary Bmems are as diverse as those in blood, and progeny of Bmems retain the ability to gain or lose residency.
