Bio 328 Immunology B-cell generation, activation, and differentiation
B CELL DEVELOPMENT
Experimental tools to characterization of progenitors: 1.Surface antigens. 2.In vitro culture. 3.Stages of V(D)J rearrangement. 4.KO transcription factors. 5.Expression of TF-driven GFP.
Early pro-B cell Late pro-B cell
Schooling of B-cells. Central schooling in the bone marow. Clonal deletion Nemazee and Burki (1989) Tieges et al. (1993) In the periphery
Bonemarrow Spleen Periarteriolar sheet Marginal follicle Immature B cell T1 B cell T2 B cell Mature B cell
Schooling of B-cells. Central schooling in bone marrow Clonal deletion (Nemazee and Burki, Tieges et al.) Peripheral schooling in spleen Clonal anergy (Goodnow et al.) T3 B cells Clonal deletion (Nemazee and Burki)
The three major populations of mature B cells.
Marginal zone B cells.
B CELL ACTIVATION
B cell activation: Competency signal (1) and (2) and Proliferation signal (3)
Foxn1 deficiency
Adaptive transfer experiments of Miller, Mitchell, and Mitchison (1960s).
CD40L CD40 LFA-2
Activation of B cells by crosslinking the BCR
B-cell Linker Protein Bruton’s tyrosine kinase
X-linked agammaglobulinemia
Importance of co-receptor: (1)# receptors needed to activate B cells (2)HEL-C3b construct (3)Anti-CD19 antibodies (4)CD19 -/- mice
X-linked hyperimmunoglobulinemia M
CD40L CD40
Importance of T H cells: (a) Cross-linking CD40 – CD40L triggers signal transduction pathway. (b) B-cell activation with T H membranes (c) anti-CD40 antibodies

“Origininal Antigenic Sin”
Regulation of Immune Responsiveness 1. Effect of prior antigen exposure (anamnestic response or tolerance). 2. Antigen-mediated regulation (antigenic competition, antigen concentration). 3. Antibody-mediated suppression. 4. Immune complexes as regulators. 5. Cytokine-mediated regulation: Th1 and Th2 cells. 6. Idiotype network regulation 7. T-cell -mediated suppression. 8. Neuroendocrine regulation.
