Increased IL-12 inhibits B cells' differentiation to germinal center cells and promotes differentiation to short-lived plasmablasts
B cells activated by antigen in T cell-dependent immune responses can become short-lived plasma cells, which remain in the spleen, or germinal center-derived memory or plasma cells, which show evidence of affinity maturation and, in the case of plasma cells, migrate to the bone marrow. We show that this cell fate decision can be governed by the cytokine environment engendered by activated dendr...
متن کاملMaintenance of human germinal center B cells in vitro.
The ability to maintain germinal center (GC) B cells in culture should facilitate studies on the molecular and cellular events which accompany affinity maturation and the generation of memory in T-dependent responses. We have investigated the ability of cytokines to maintain human tonsillar GC B cells (IgD-/CD39-/CD38+/CD77+) in the "CD40 culture system". In the absence of added cytokines, CD40...
متن کاملγ-Herpesvirus Latency Is Preferentially Maintained in Splenic Germinal Center and Memory B Cells
The gamma-herpesviruses are oncogenic B cell lymphotrophic viruses that establish life-long latency in the host. Murine gamma-herpesvirus 68 (MHV-68) infection of mice represents a unique system for analyzing gamma-herpesvirus latency in splenic B cells at different stages of infection. After intranasal infection with MHV-68 we analyzed the establishment of latency 14 days after infection, and ...
متن کاملDifferentiation of germinal center B cells into plasma cells is initiated by high-affinity antigen and completed by Tfh cells
Plasma cells (PCs) derived from germinal centers (GCs) secrete the high-affinity antibodies required for long-term serological immunity. Nevertheless, the process whereby GC B cells differentiate into PCs is uncharacterized, and the mechanism underlying the selective PC differentiation of only high-affinity GC B cells remains unknown. In this study, we show that differentiation into PCs is indu...
متن کاملDifferentiation of memory B and T cells.
In the past few years progress has been made in understanding the molecular mechanisms that underlie the initial generation, and the ensuing differentiation and maintenance, of humoral and cellular immunity. Although B and T cell immunological memory contribute to protective immunity through fundamentally distinct effector functions, interesting analogies are becoming apparent between the two m...
