چکیده

Inbred strains of laboratory mice are commonly used in different immunological studies, with varying results. However, these variations are often overlooked and the underlying molecular mechanisms are less explored. In this study, we analyzed the differences in B-lymphocyte response and mechanisms of class switch recombination in two commonly used mouse strains, FVB and C57BL/6. These two strains of mice differ in their major histocompatibility complex (MHC) antigens, C57BL/6 having H-2b and FVB having H-2q, along with multiple cryptic changes. Analysis of in vitro class switch recombination showed that lymphocytes from these two strains of mice had altered preference for immunoglobulin isotype switching, with C57BL/6 producing more IgG1 and IgG3, but less IgG2b compared to FVB. Furthermore, cell-cycle patterns and gene expression studies for critical genes showed moderate differences between the two strains, suggesting that the cells opted for different molecular mechanisms under identical culture conditions.

Inhibition of IL-13 by Antisense Oligonucleotide Changes Immunoglobulin Isotype Profile in Cultured B-Lymphocytes

The link between IL-13 and bronchial hyper-responsiveness has brought this cytokine as a potential therapeutic target for asthma and allergic diseases. At the present study, we address the role of B cell derived IL-13 in the IgE and other immunoglobulin development. Antisense oligo for human IL-13 m-RNA was used to study IgE down regulation. Human B-lymphocytes were purified by positive selecti...

Western Blot Analysis of Sera from Leishmania major-Infected BALB/c and C57BL/6 Mice

In Leishmania (L.) major-infected BALB/c mice Th2-type cells results in disease progression, whereas C57BL/6-infected mice mount a Th1-type response, which leads to control of the infection. Th2 response correlates with IgG1 whereas, Th1 response supports switching to IgG2a subclasses. Since IgG isotype-dominated response depends on different CD4 + T cell subsets, we studied the antigenic profi...

Deficiency of CD26 results in a change of cytokine and immunoglobulin secretion after stimulation by pokeweed mitogen.

To investigate the role of CD26 in the immune system, CD26 gene knockout mice with C57BL/6 background were used to study the immune response after stimulation with PWM. CD26(-/-) mice display an apparently normal phenotype. However, in their spleen lymphocyte population the percentage of CD4(+) T cells is lower, and that of NK cells is higher, than that in CD26(+/+) mice. In their peripheral bl...

Brain immune cell composition and functional outcome after cerebral ischemia: comparison of two mouse strains

Inflammatory cells may contribute to secondary brain injury following cerebral ischemia. The C57Bl/6 mouse strain is known to exhibit a T helper 1-prone, pro-inflammatory type response to injury, whereas the FVB strain is relatively T helper 2-prone, or anti-inflammatory, in its immune response. We tested whether stroke outcome is more severe in C57Bl/6 than FVB mice. Male mice of each strain u...

Single-Cell Analysis Reveals Isotype-Specific Autoreactive B Cell Repertoires in Sjögren’s Syndrome

Microengraving is a novel technology that uses an array of microfabricated subnanoliter wells to isolate and characterize secreted proteins from larger number of single cells. This printing technique permits the capture and characterization of secreted antibodies on glass slides. Here, we profiled the antigenic repertoires of B cells reacting against salivary gland tissues in Sjögren's syndrome...
