New Insights into the Early Molecular Events Underlying B Cell Activation  Naomi E. Harwood, Facundo D. Batista  Immunity  Volume 28, Issue 5, Pages 609-619 (May 2008) DOI: 10.1016/j.immuni.2008.04.007 Copyright © 2008 Elsevier Inc. Terms and Conditions

Figure 1 A Proposed Mechanism for the Initiation of B Cell Activation (A) In the resting B cell membrane, BCRs (dark blue) are free to diffuse along with Lyn (light blue) and large receptor tyrosine phosphatases such as CD45 and CD148 (purple). (B) After contact with antigen- (green) containing membrane, kinetic segregation excludes bulky phosphatases from close contact zones. These close contact zones allow the accumulation of activated phosphorylated BCR through localized cytoskeleton reorganisation. (C) These close contact zones potentially form the site of BCR microcluster generation and signaling. Immunity 2008 28, 609-619DOI: (10.1016/j.immuni.2008.04.007) Copyright © 2008 Elsevier Inc.

Figure 2 BCR Microclusters Propagate through B Cell Spreading On contact with the antigen-containing membrane, the B cell forms BCR microclusters in the contact region. After recognition of membrane-bound antigen, the BCR signalosome is assembled by the highly coordinated and sequential recruitment of initiating kinases, such as Lyn and Syk; intracellular signaling molecules, such as Vav, PI3K, PLCγ2 and Btk; and adaptors, such as Blnk and CD19. The composition of newly formed BCR microclusters (pink) at the periphery of the B cell contact is shown (left). At later stages, these microclusters (red) act as the sites for the recruitment and assembly of the components of the signalosome (right) and move toward the cSMAC of the IS. During B cell spreading, the contact area increases, allowing for the amplification of the generation of signaling BCR microclusters and thereby enhancing B cell activation. After spreading, a slower contraction occurs, allowing for the amplification in the generation of signaling BCR microclusters within the cSMAC, where antigen can be internalized into endosomes for later presentation to helper T cells.

Figure 3 Mechanisms of In Vivo Presentation of Membrane-Bound Antigen to B Cells in the LN The flow of lymph through the LN is indicated, along with the key architectural features of the LN itself. The B cell area, or cortex, is located below the collagenous capsule, separated by the subcapsular sinus (SCS). This area contains many primary or secondary follicles, composed of organized aggregates of activated B cells, often interspersed with numerous elongated follicular dendritic cells (FDCs). The T cell area, or paracortex, adjacent to the cortex, is rich in T cells and antigen-presenting cells. This region also contains high endothelial venules (HEVs), through which lymphocytes from the general circulation can enter the LN. The medulla is the innermost area of the LN and contains both B and T cells. Lymph fluid containing lymphocytes and antigens from surrounding tissues enter the LN through afferent lymphatics. Lymph is drained from the node by the efferent lymphatic vessel, allowing the exit of lymphocytes. B cells are shown in brown, and their initial sites of interaction with antigen (green) are highlighted: macrophages in the SCS (blue), FDCs in the GC (orange), and dendritic cells (DCs) in close proximity to the HEVs in the paracortex (red).
