Cd5 Maintains Tolerance in Anergic B Cells
Clonal anergy of autoreactive B cells is a key mechanism regulating tolerance. Here, we show that anergic B cells express significant surface levels of CD5, a molecule normally found on T cells and a subset of B-1 cells. Breeding of the hen egg lysozyme (HEL) transgenic model for B cell anergy onto the CD5 null background resulted in a spontaneous loss of B cell tolerance in vivo. Evidence for ...
متن کاملAnti-DNA antibody production by CD5+ and CD5- B cells of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus.
Although the presence of anti-DNA antibody is a hallmark of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), neither the subsets of B cells that secrete anti-DNA antibody nor the stimuli responsible for the induction of anti-DNA secretion is known. In particular, the role of CD5+ B cells in human SLE, a distinct subpopulation of antibody-secreting cells shown previously to be a source of anti-DNA antibody i...
متن کاملlmmunoelectron microscopic examination of cord blood CD5+ B cells.
In this study, we have categorized cord blood CD5(+) B cells, which were examined using the horseradish peroxidase-colloidal gold double labeling immunoelectron microscopy, into three subtypes based on their morphology and immunohistochemical characteristics. Type 1a cells and type 1b cells (9% and 17% of the CD5(+) B cells, respectively) had few cytoplasmic organelles, a high nuclear/cytoplasm...
متن کاملPeritoneal CD5+ B-1 cells have signaling properties similar to tolerant B cells.
CD5(+) B (or B-1) cells are the normal precursors of B cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia. They differ from conventional B (B-2) cells with respect to their phenotype and mitogenic responses and are often secretors of the natural polyreactive antibodies in the serum. The origin of B-1 cells remains controversial, and the relationship between B-1 cells and autoreactive B cells is unclear. Here, w...
متن کاملStudies of in vitro activated CD5+ B cells.
Human B lymphocytes undergo distinct phenotypic changes following activation with antigen and polyclonal mitogens. Increasing interest has focused on the unique subpopulation of B cells that expresses the CD5 antigen. In this study, we examined the signals that induce the expression of CD5 on normal splenic B cells. Only 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) induced CD5 expression on highl...
