A dynamic T cell–limited checkpoint regulates affinity-dependent B cell entry into the germinal center
The germinal center (GC) reaction is essential for the generation of the somatically hypermutated, high-affinity antibodies that mediate adaptive immunity. Entry into the GC is limited to a small number of B cell clones; however, the process by which this limited number of clones is selected is unclear. In this study, we demonstrate that low-affinity B cells intrinsically capable of seeding a G...
متن کاملCpG-A and CpG-B oligonucleotides differentially enhance human peptide-specific primary and memory CD8+ T-cell responses in vitro.
Two distinct types of CpG oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) have been identified that differ in their capacity to stimulate antigen-presenting cells: CpG-A induces high amounts of interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha) and IFN-beta in plasmacytoid dendritic cells (PDCs), whereas CpG-B induces PDC maturation and is a potent activator of B cells but stimulates only small amounts of IFN-alpha and IFN-beta. Here we...
متن کاملB cell responses to a peptide epitope. VII. Antigen-dependent modulation of the germinal center reaction.
Germinal center responses to two analogous peptides, PS1CT3 and G32CT3, that differ in sequence only at one position within the B cell epitopic region were examined. In comparison with peptide PS1CT3, peptide G32CT3 elicited a poor germinal center response. By demonstrating equal facility of immune complexes with IgM and IgG Ab isotypes to seed germinal centers, we excluded differences in isoty...
متن کاملA mechanism of T cell dependent selection of antigen engaged Germinal Center B cells
A model of B cell affinity selection is proposed, and an explanation of peripheral tolerance mechanisms through antibody repertoire editing is presented. We show that affinity discrimination between B cells is driven by a competition between obtaining T cell help and removal of B cells from the light zone, either through apoptosis or by a return to the dark zone of germinal centers. We demonstr...
متن کاملSynergy between CpG- or non-CpG DNA and specific antigen for B cell activation.
DNA or oligodeoxynucleotides (ODN) containing unmethylated CpG motifs (CpG DNA) activate antigen-presenting cells and switch on T(h)1 immunity to antigen. B cells are synergistically activated by CpG DNA in combination with non-physiologic B cell stimulators such as polyclonal mitogen and surface Ig cross-linkers. This study shows the unexpected finding that not only CpG ODN, but also non-CpG a...
