Abstract
SAP is required for proper T cell help in germinal centers (GCs). Biram et al. show that SAP-independent GCs are formed within Peyer's patches. These GCs host highly diversified clones that are subjected to mild selection forces, demonstrating that clonal diversification can be uncoupled from clonal selection in chronic GCs.
