IL-5 induces IgG1 isotype switch recombination in mouse CD38-activated sIgD-positive B lymphocytes.
Mouse B cells express CD38, whose ligation by anti-CD38 Ab induces their proliferation and protection from apoptosis. We previously showed that stimulation of mouse splenic B cells with IL-5 together with CS/2, an anti-mouse CD38 mAb, induces production of IgG1 and IgM. Here we examined the role of IL-5 and CS/2 in the expression of germline gamma1 transcripts and the generation of reciprocal p...
متن کاملInterleukin-10 induces immunoglobulin G isotype switch recombination in human CD40-activated naive B lymphocytes
Upon activation, B lymphocytes can change the isotype of the antibody they express by immunoglobulin (Ig) isotype switch recombination. In previous studies on the regulation of human IgG expression, we demonstrated that interleukin 10 (IL-10) could stimulate IgG1 and IgG3 secretion by human CD40-activated naive (sIgD+) tonsillar B cells. To assess whether IL-10 actually promotes the DNA recombi...
متن کاملEfficient recombination of a switch substrate retrovector in CD40-activated B lymphocytes: implications for the control of CH gene switch recombination.
Maturing B lymphocytes possess a recombination activity that switches the class of heavy chain Ig. The nature of the recombination activity, its molecular requirements and regulation remain elusive questions about B lymphocyte biology and development. Class switch recombination is controlled by cytokine response elements that are required to differentially activate CH gene transcription before ...
متن کاملReversing Tolerance in Isotype Switch-Competent Anti-Insulin B Lymphocytes.
Autoreactive B lymphocytes that escape central tolerance and mature in the periphery are a liability for developing autoimmunity. IgG insulin autoantibodies that predict type 1 diabetes and complicate insulin therapies indicate that mechanisms for tolerance to insulin are flawed. To examine peripheral tolerance in anti-insulin B cells, we generated C57BL/6 mice that harbor anti-insulin VDJH-125...
متن کاملAn extrachromosomal switch recombination substrate reveals kinetics and substrate requirements of switch recombination in primary murine B cells.
Ig class switch recombination occurs in B lymphocytes upon activation, and is targeted to distinct switch (S) regions by cytokine-mediated induction of switch transcripts spanning the entire S region and the adjacent constant region gene segments. Using a novel type of switch recombination substrate, constructed according to the intron-exon structure of the IgH locus, but with heterologous elem...
