TLR ligation triggers somatic hypermutation in transitional B cells inducing the generation of IgM memory B cells.
TLR9 activation by unmethylated CpG provides a homeostatic mechanism to maintain B cell memory in the absence of Ag. In this study, we demonstrate that CpG also triggers the generation of somatically mutated memory B cells from immature transitional B cells. In response to CpG, a fraction of transitional B cells proliferates and introduces somatic hypermutations in the H chain V regions. The no...
متن کاملSignals that initiate somatic hypermutation of B cells in vitro.
Somatic hypermutation is initiated as B lymphocytes proliferate in germinal centers. The signals that switch on the mutation process are unknown. We have derived an in vitro system to define signals that will initiate mutation in normal, naive splenic B cells. We find that three signals are required to allow detection of somatic mutation in vitro; these are anti-Ig, anti-CD40, and anti-CD38. If...
متن کاملSomatic hypermutation in B cells: an optimal control treatment.
The vertebrate immune system generates high-affinity antibodies to external antigens through a process of somatic hypermutation that takes place in germinal centers formed in the secondary lymphoid tissues. B cells proliferating in these germinal centers experience random mutations in the genes encoding the variable region of their immunoglobulin molecules and are subsequently selected for high...
متن کاملSomatic Hypermutation Shapes the Antibody Repertoire of Memory B Cells in Humans
High-affinity antibodies produced by memory B cells differ from antibodies produced in naive B cells in two respects. First, many of these antibodies show somatic hypermutation, and second, the repertoire of antibodies expressed in memory responses is highly selected. To determine whether somatic hypermutation is responsible for the shift in the antibody repertoire during affinity maturation, w...
متن کاملHypermutation of Immunoglobulin Genes in Memory B Cells of DNA Repair–deficient Mice
To investigate the possible involvement of DNA repair in the process of somatic hypermutation of rearranged immunoglobulin variable (V) region genes, we have analyzed the occurrence, frequency, distribution, and pattern of mutations in rearranged Vlambda1 light chain genes from naive and memory B cells in DNA repair-deficient mutant mouse strains. Hypermutation was found unaffected in mice carr...
