External Citation Audit
Research Question
Which non-ingested papers are cited inline in entity, concept, and method pages — and are those citations accurate?
Background
Wiki Rule 6: “Everything in entity/concept/method pages should trace back to a source page.” A deep lint on 2026-05-08 found ~80 inline references to ~54 unique external papers across ~25 wiki pages. These references were introduced during ingests when claims from ingested sources included secondary citations. This audit page catalogs every instance so the curator can verify accuracy and decide which papers to ingest.
Status: Pending curator review. Once verified, external citations in wiki pages should be rewritten to attribute claims solely to ingested source pages.
External Papers Cited
Each entry lists: citation as it appears, DOI (where found), the ingested source that cited it, and all wiki pages where it appears.

Was cited via: Sanz2025 - Human Atypical B Cells Overview, Lamprinou2026 - ABCs and DN B Cells, Beckers2023 - Origins and Functions of DN B Cells
⚠ Two relay errors found on reading the primary:
- DN4 phenotype. Lamprinou2026 - ABCs and DN B Cells records DN4 as CXCR5⁺CD11c⁻ citing this paper among others; the primary gates DN4 = CXCR5⁺CD11c⁺ (Fig. 1B/1C quadrants, confirmed Fig. 6C). Flagged, not resolved — see Double-Negative B Cell Overview.
- “DN3 is CD19-low.” Sanz2025 - Human Atypical B Cells Overview attributes this to Woodruff 2020 + Allard-Chamard 2023 + Perugino/Pillai jointly. The Allard-Chamard primary never describes DN3 as CD19-low — CD19 appears only as a lineage gate. The claim must rest on the other citations. Also flattened by all three relays: the composition-vs-density distinction — DN3 rises in absolute tissue density but not as a share of the tissue DN pool. See the source page.

Batch added 2026-08-16 — primaries threaded through Glaros2025 - Multilayered Identity of B Cell Memory
Glaros2025 is a narrative review with no original data; every claim the wiki took from it is a characterization of someone else’s primary result. The named primaries below are therefore Pattern-A external citations of the same kind this audit tracks. Only #55 was independently verified during ingest — the rest are the review’s characterizations and are labelled as such in wiki text.
55. Ambegaonkar et al. 2020, Sci Adv ✅ VERIFIED 2026-08-16 (abstract)
Topic: Atypical MBCs cannot respond to soluble antigen; inhibitory receptors (FcγRIIB) must be excluded from the immune synapse, which only membrane-associated antigen achieves → PC differentiation proceeds
DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.aba6493
Cited via: Glaros2025 - Multilayered Identity of B Cell Memory
Verification note: Checked because the review’s paraphrase and the paper’s title (“restricts responses to membrane-associated antigens”) read in opposite directions. Direction confirmed — the title means responses are restricted to that antigen form. Abstract names FcγRIIB; FCRL5’s role is the review’s attribution. Abstract also notes these cells respond to immune-complexed antigen but not to “fully soluble antigens, such as self-antigens” — load-bearing for the bridge-wiki/ thesis.

64. Shao et al. 2024, Nat Immunol — the epigenetic-recording primary — HIGH PRIORITY; currently unnamed anywhere else in the wiki
Topic: “Epigenetic recording of stimulation history reveals BLIMP1–BACH2 balance in determining memory B cell fate upon recall challenge.” Accumulated stimulation progressively increases chromatin accessibility at PC-associated loci including Prdm1, raising baseline BLIMP1 and biasing memory B cells toward PC differentiation over GC reentry. Glaros2025 ref [139]. Citation as given by the review: Nat Immunol. 2024;25:1432–44. ⚠ Author list not independently confirmed — transcribed from a page render; verify before citing formally. DOI: not retrieved — search: epigenetic recording stimulation history BLIMP1 BACH2 memory B cell fate recall Nat Immunol 2024 Cited via: Glaros2025 - Multilayered Identity of B Cell Memory Why priority: This single primary underpins the highest-leverage idea taken from this ingest — the wiki-generated hypothesis that repeat-DENV-exposure memory is epigenetically pre-committed to a plasmablast recall, which would explain the secondary-dengue PB-burst / low-SHM / OAS triad. It carries Glaros2025 - Multilayered Identity of B Cell Memory Questions Raised Q2, the Original Antigenic Sin bullet, the ATAC-seq testable-design note, and bullets on BACH2 and BLIMP-1.

65. Trivedi et al. 2019, Immunity — the liver-resident T-bet⁺ memory primary
Topic: “Liver Is a Generative Site for the B Cell Response to Ehrlichia muris.” Somatically hypermutated IgM⁺T-bet⁺ MBC-like cells generated GC-independently (splenic GCs absent in this model), resident in liver and spleen, persisting after clearance; ~half of liver clones liver-exclusive; liver but not splenic MBCs express Cd69.

DOI: not retrieved — search: Trivedi liver generative site B cell response Ehrlichia muris Immunity 2019 Cited via: Glaros2025 - Multilayered Identity of B Cell Memory Why it matters here: the sole evidentiary basis for the liver hook that justified creating Tissue-Resident Memory B Cell, and the wiki’s only precedent for a GC-independent T-bet⁺ B cell compartment in liver tissue — relevant because hepatic involvement is a consensus severe-dengue criterion (see Morra2018 - Defining Warning Signs and Severe Dengue).

Entries 67–77 — added 2026-08-16 from the Cancro2020 - Age-Associated B Cells ingest
Cancro2020 is a narrative review with zero original data and 185 references, so — as with Glaros2025 — its entire evidentiary content is external citation. Full bibliographic details below are transcribed from the review’s own Literature Cited section, not retrieved externally. None independently verified.
67. Hao et al. 2011, Blood — the founding ABC paper (Cancro group)
Full citation (Cancro ref 17): Hao Y, O’Neill P, Naradikian MS, Scholz JL, Cancro MP. 2011. A B-cell subset uniquely responsive to innate stimuli accumulates in aged mice. Blood 118:1294–304 Topic: Defines ABCs as B220⁺CD19⁺ splenic B cells lacking CD21, CD23, CD95, CD43. Source of the age-accumulation trajectory, BCR-refractory-but-viable phenotype, irradiation/reconstitution progenitor experiment, FO→ABC adoptive transfer, BAFF independence, and the Th17-skewing APC result. DOI: not retrieved Why priority: One of the two papers that define the wiki’s spine entity. ⚠ Author self-citation, heavily load-bearing — most of §2 and §4 rests on it. Wiki locations: Age-Associated B Cell, Atypical B Cell, CD21, CD23, CD19, B220, Conventional Flow Cytometry, FACS Sorting
68. Rubtsov et al. 2011, Blood — the co-founding ABC paper (Marrack group)
Full citation (Cancro ref 18): Rubtsov AV, Rubtsova K, Fischer A, Meehan RT, Gillis JZ, et al. 2011. Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7)-driven accumulation of a novel CD11c+ B-cell population is important for the development of autoimmunity. Blood 118:1305–15 Topic: The CD11c⁺-anchored ABC definition; T-bet expression in ABCs; TLR7 as the driver in autoimmune-prone strains; first report of elevated CD11c⁺ B cells in human scleroderma and RA. DOI: not retrieved Why priority: The other founding paper. The Hao-vs-Rubtsov marker divergence is itself a documented methods caution. Wiki locations: Age-Associated B Cell, CD11c, TLR7, T-bet, Conventional Flow Cytometry
69. Naradikian et al. 2016, J Immunol — the two-signal model primary
Full citation (Cancro ref 54): Naradikian MS, Myles A, Beiting DP, Roberts KJ, Dawson L, et al. 2016. Cutting edge: IL-4, IL-21, and IFN-γ interact to govern T-bet and CD11c expression in TLR-activated B cells. J Immunol 197:1023–28 Topic: TLR7/9 signals necessary to poise B cells for ABC fate; BCR ligation ± CD40 insufficient; IFN-γ or IL-21 required downstream; IL-4 conditional antagonism; both requisites cell-intrinsic; CD11c induction largely a direct cytokine effect rather than a T-bet target; the human CD27⁻ exception. DOI: not retrieved Why priority: ★ The single most load-bearing external in this ingest. It supplies the entire mechanistic backbone now written onto TLR7, IL-21, T-bet and In Vitro B Cell Stimulation, and it is the source of the CD11c/T-bet decoupling that converges with entries 59–60 (Du 2019, Levack 2020) on the wiki’s tracked T-bet-demotion thread. Also already cited via Lamprinou2026 - ABCs and DN B Cells. ⚠ Author self-citation. Wiki locations: TLR7, IL-21, T-bet, CD11c, In Vitro B Cell Stimulation, RNA Sequencing, Age-Associated B Cell, DN2 B Cell, B Cell Panel Variant 1
70. Russell Knode et al. 2017, J Immunol — the ABC repertoire primary
Full citation (Cancro ref 58): Russell Knode LM, Naradikian MS, Myles A, Scholz JL, Hao Y, et al. 2017. Age-associated B cells express a diverse repertoire of V_H and V_κ genes with somatic hypermutation. J Immunol 198:1921–27 Topic: Sorted ABC heavy/light chain sequencing — diverse germline V_H/V_κ congruent with the FO pool (ruling out age-associated clonal expansion), with many V regions somatically mutated. Also the MHC-II-KO / CD40-KO / CD154-KO results. DOI: not retrieved Why priority: The evidentiary basis for both sides of the ABC-origin argument — Lamprinou2026 reads its SHM as GC evidence, Cancro reads the same data as not establishing GC origin. Verifying it would sharpen a live wiki contradiction. ⚠ Author self-citation. Wiki locations: BCR Sequencing, FACS Sorting, Somatic Hypermutation, Age-Associated B Cell, Germinal Center, CD40L
71. Sindhava et al. 2017, J Clin Investig — the TLR9 tolerance-checkpoint primary
Full citation (Cancro ref 43): Sindhava VJ, Oropallo MA, Moody K, Naradikian M, Higdon LE, et al. 2017. A TLR9-dependent checkpoint governs B cell responses to DNA-containing antigens. J Clin Investig 127:1651–63
Topic: BCR-delivered TLR9 ligand triggers cell-cycle arrest and mitochondrial death after an initial proliferative burst; survival cytokines or CD40 costimulation rescue; rescued cells assume the ABC phenotype in the presence of IFN-γ or IL-21.
DOI: not retrieved
Why priority: ★ Underpins a new Notable Finding and the most promising PDF-sourced mechanism for the bridge-wiki/ cells→autoantibody arm — one that does not require a soluble self-antigen route. ⚠ Author self-citation.
Wiki locations: TLR7, IL-21, Age-Associated B Cell, CD40L
72. Ratliff et al. 2013, Aging Cell — ABC-derived TNF-α suppresses B lymphopoiesis
Full citation (Cancro ref 39): Ratliff M, Alter S, Frasca D, Blomberg BB, Riley RL. 2013. In senescence, age-associated B cells secrete TNFα and inhibit survival of B-cell precursors. Aging Cell 12:303–11 Topic: ABCs impede early B cell development via TNF-α — directly through pre-B cell apoptosis, indirectly through effects on the BM microenvironment. DOI: not retrieved Why notable: Takes TNF-alpha from 1 source to 2 on a mechanism entirely distinct from Kaneko2020’s GC-TFH block. The two are explicitly distinguished on that page. Wiki locations: TNF-alpha, Age-Associated B Cell
73. Di Niro et al. 2015, Immunity — second EF-SHM primary; ingest candidate
Full citation (Cancro ref 62): Di Niro R, Lee SJ, Vander Heiden JA, Elsner RA, Trivedi N, et al. 2015. Salmonella infection drives promiscuous B cell activation followed by extrafollicular affinity maturation. Immunity 43:120–31 Topic: Extrafollicular affinity maturation after bacterial infection. This is the reference Cancro attaches to “somatic hypermutation can occur independent of GC formation” — the load-bearing citation for his conclusion that ABCs may arise and hypermutate in extrafollicular niches. DOI: not retrieved Why priority: ★ A second independent EF-SHM primary alongside the already-ingested William2002 - Extrafollicular Somatic Hypermutation in Autoimmune Mice, in a bacterial infection rather than an autoimmune model — which would broaden the wiki’s EF-SHM evidence base beyond autoimmunity. Strong ingest candidate. Wiki locations: Extrafollicular Response, Somatic Hypermutation, Germinal Center, Age-Associated B Cell
74. Racine et al. 2008, J Immunol — extrafollicular CD11c⁺ plasmablasts
Full citation (Cancro ref 84): Racine R, Chatterjee M, Winslow GM. 2008. CD11c expression identifies a population of extrafollicular antigen-specific splenic plasmablasts responsible for CD4 T-independent antibody responses during intracellular bacterial infection. J Immunol 181:1375–85 Topic: IgM⁺CD11c⁺ extrafollicular splenic plasmablasts in Ehrlichia muris, driving CD4-T-independent antibody responses. DOI: not retrieved Why notable: Directly links CD11c to an anatomically extrafollicular plasmablast — the marker-to-pathway connection this wiki’s spine assumes but rarely sources. Wiki locations: CD11c, Plasmablast, Extrafollicular Response, IgM
75. Zumaquero et al. 2019, eLife — human T-bet^hi B cells, CD40-independent
Full citation (Cancro ref 61): Zumaquero E, Stone SL, Scharer CD, Jenks SA, Nellore A, et al. 2019. IFNγ induces epigenetic programming of human T-bet^hi B cells and promotes TLR7/8 and IL-21 induced differentiation. eLife 8:e41641 Topic: “The Lund group” work Cancro cites for the ABC phenotype being achievable without CD40 ligation. Human. DOI: 10.7554/eLife.41641 (as printed in the review’s reference list — not independently verified) Why priority: Rare human mechanistic evidence in an otherwise murine argument, and its co-authors (Scharer, Jenks) already anchor two ingested wiki sources — Scharer2019 - Epigenetic Programming in SLE B Cells and Jenks2018 - DN2 B Cells and EF Pathway in SLE. Good ingest candidate. Wiki locations: CD40L, T-bet, Germinal Center, Age-Associated B Cell, IL-21
76. Manni et al. 2018, Nat Immunol + Wang et al. 2018, Nat Commun — the IL-21/IRF5 autoimmunity axis
Full citations (Cancro refs 29, 30): Manni M, Gupta S, Ricker E, Chinenov Y, Park SH, et al. 2018. Regulation of age-associated B cells by IRF5 in systemic autoimmunity. Nat Immunol 19:407–19 · Wang S, Wang J, Kumar V, Karnell JL, Naiman B, et al. 2018. IL-21 drives expansion and plasma cell differentiation of autoreactive CD11c^hiT-bet⁺ B cells in SLE. Nat Commun 9:1758 Topic: SWEF double-KO — IL-21-deficient mice developed neither expanded ABCs nor autoantibodies; the expansion depends on IRF5, a human SLE risk allele. Wang: blood ABCs correlate with SLEDAI, ABC pool enriched for autoantibody specificities. DOI: not retrieved Note: Wang 2018 already appears at entry 66 via Glaros2025 — this is a second independent citing review, which raises confidence in the characterisation without verifying it. IRF5 has no wiki page and is cited as plain text only. Wiki locations: IL-21, Age-Associated B Cell, Double-Negative B Cell, Atypical B Cell
77. Other Cancro2020-mediated primaries carried at lower weight

Note on entries 67–77 (Cancro2020). Bibliographic details were transcribed from the review’s own Literature Cited section rather than retrieved externally, per curator direction that this ingest be PDF-only. That means author/year/journal/volume/pages are as-printed and unverified. Seven of the eleven entries are author self-citations (Cancro is senior or co-author on Hao 2011, Naradikian 2016, Russell Knode 2017, Sindhava 2017, and others) — expected for a review by the field’s founding investigator, but it concentrates the review’s evidentiary base in one laboratory and is worth recording as a structural feature of the source rather than a fault.
★ Highest-value ingest candidates surfaced by this pass: Naradikian 2016 (the two-signal primary — most load-bearing external in the ingest), Di Niro 2015 (a second EF-SHM primary, in bacterial rather than autoimmune infection), Zumaquero 2019 (human, CD40-independent, co-authored by two existing wiki source authors), and Moir 2008 / Weiss 2009 (the canonical human atypical-memory primaries).

Open Questions
- Should verified external citations be rewritten to attribute solely to the ingested source, or should the external papers be ingested?
- Are any of these external papers high-priority for ingestion (e.g., William et al. 2002 for murine EF SHM)?
Sources Used
All 8 ingested source pages were scanned in the original 2026-05-08 pass. External citations traced to their ingested source of origin. [2026-08-16] Entries 55–64 added from the Glaros2025 - Multilayered Identity of B Cell Memory ingest — a zero-original-data review, so its entire evidentiary content is external citation. The rest of the corpus has not been rescanned since 2026-05-08.
