T cell-independent and T cell-dependent immunoglobulin G responses to polyomavirus infection are impaired in complement receptor 2-deficient mice.
Polyomavirus (PyV) infection induces protective T cell-independent (TI) IgM and IgG antibody responses in T cell-deficient mice, but these responses are not generated by immunization with viral proteins or virus like particles. We hypothesized that innate signals contribute to the generation of isotype-switched antiviral antibody responses. We studied the role of complement receptor (CR2) engag...
متن کاملThe role of CD40-CD154 interaction in antiviral T cell-independent IgG responses.
Polyomavirus (PyV) infection elicits protective T cell-independent (TI) IgG responses in T cell-deficient mice. The question addressed in this report is whether CD40 signaling plays a role in this TI antiviral IgG response. Because CD40 ligand (CD40L) can be expressed on numerous cell types in addition to activated T cells, it is possible that cells other than T cells provide CD40L to signal th...
متن کاملGeneration of primary antigen-specific human cytotoxic T lymphocytes in human/mouse radiation chimera.
Severe combined immunodeficient (SCID) mice are increasingly used as hosts for the adoptive transfer of human lymphocytes. Human antibody responses can be obtained in these xenogeneic chimeras, but information about the functionality of the human T cells in SCID mice is limited and controversial. Studies using human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) injected intraperitoneally (IP) into SCID mi...
متن کاملLong-Lasting T Cell-Independent IgG Responses Require MyD88-Mediated Pathways and Are Maintained by High Levels of Virus Persistence
UNLABELLED Many viruses induce acute T cell-independent (TI) B cell responses due to their repetitive epitopes and the induction of innate cytokines. Nevertheless, T cell help is thought necessary for the development of long-lasting antiviral antibody responses in the form of long-lived plasma cells and memory B cells. We found that T cell-deficient (T cell receptor β and δ chain [TCRβδ] knocko...
متن کاملT cell-independent antibody-mediated clearance of polyoma virus in T cell-deficient mice
Polyomavirus (PyV) infection of SCID mice, which lack functional T and B cells, leads to a lethal acute myeloproliferative disease (AMD) and to high levels of virus replication in several organs by two wk after infection. This is in contrast to infection of T cell-deficient athymic nude mice, which are resistant to acute PyV-induced disease and poorly replicate the virus in their organs. This m...
