Invariant NKT cells sustain specific B cell responses and memory.
Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells are innate-like lymphocytes recognizing CD1d-restricted glycolipid antigens, such as alpha-galactosylceramide (alphaGC). We assessed whether iNKT cells help B lymphocyte responses and found that mice immunized with proteins and alphaGC develop antibody titers 1-2 logs higher than those induced by proteins alone. Activation of iNKT cells enhances protectio...
متن کاملMemory B cells contribute to rapid Bcl6 expression by memory follicular helper T cells.
In primary humoral responses, B-cell lymphoma 6 (Bcl6) is a master regulator of follicular helper T (TFH) cell differentiation; however, its activation mechanisms and role in memory responses remain unclear. Here we demonstrate that survival of CXCR5(+) TFH memory cells, and thus subsequent recall antibody response, require Bcl6 expression. Furthermore, we show that, upon rechallenge with solub...
متن کاملMemory T Follicular Helper CD4 T Cells
T follicular helper (Tfh) cells are the subset of CD4 T helper cells that are required for generation and maintenance of germinal center reactions and the generation of long-lived humoral immunity. This specialized T helper subset provides help to cognate B cells via their expression of CD40 ligand, IL-21, IL-4, and other molecules. Tfh cells are characterized by their expression of the chemoki...
متن کاملCD301b+ dendritic cells suppress T follicular helper cells and antibody responses to protein antigens
Strong antibody response is considered a hallmark of a successful vaccine. While dendritic cells (DCs) are important for T follicular helper (Tfh) cell priming, how this process is regulated in vivo is unclear. We show here that the depletion of CD301b+ DCs specifically enhanced the development of Tfh cells, germinal center B cells and antibody responses against protein antigens. Exaggerated an...
متن کاملNatural killer T (NKT)-B-cell interactions promote prolonged antibody responses and long-term memory to pneumococcal capsular polysaccharides.
Innate-like natural killer T (NKT) cells critically enhance cell and humoral immunity against infections through recognition of conserved microbial lipid antigens presented by CD1d-expressing antigen-presenting cells, and provision of CD40L and cytokine signals. Whereas NKT cells efficiently licensed dendritic cells to prime potent effector and memory T cells, studies based on model antigens su...
