IgE antigen complexes induce increased specific T cell proliferation and increased specific IgG production. Immediately after immunization, CD23(+) B cells capture IgE antigen complexes, transport them to the spleen where, via unknown mechanisms, dendritic cells capture the antigen and present it to T cells. CD23, the low affinity IgE receptor, binds IgE antigen complexes and internalizes them. In this study, we show that these complexes are processed onto B-cell derived exosomes (bexosomes) in a CD23 dependent manner. The bexosomes carry CD23, IgE and MHC II and stimulate antigen specific T-cell proliferation in vitro. When IgE antigen complex stimulated bexosomes are incubated with dendritic cells, dendritic cells induce specific T-cell proliferation in vivo, similar to IgE antigen complexes. This suggests that bexosomes can provide the essential transfer mechanism for IgE antigen complexes from B cells to dendritic cells.
IgE抗原复合物可诱导特异性T细胞增殖增加以及特异性IgG产生增加。免疫后立即,CD23(+) B细胞捕获IgE抗原复合物,将其转运至脾脏,在脾脏中,树突状细胞通过未知机制捕获抗原并将其呈递给T细胞。CD23,即低亲和力IgE受体,结合IgE抗原复合物并将其内化。在本研究中,我们表明这些复合物以CD23依赖的方式被加工成B细胞来源的外泌体(bexosomes)。这些bexosomes携带CD23、IgE和MHC II,并在体外刺激抗原特异性T细胞增殖。当用IgE抗原复合物刺激的bexosomes与树突状细胞一起孵育时,树突状细胞在体内诱导特异性T细胞增殖,类似于IgE抗原复合物。这表明bexosomes可以为IgE抗原复合物从B细胞到树突状细胞提供必要的转运机制。
