After antigen capture, dendritic cells (DC) migrate into T cell-rich areas of secondary lymphoid organs, where they induce T cell activation, that subsequently drives B cell activation. Here, we investigate whether DC, generated in vitro, can directly modulate B cell responses, using CD40L-transfected L cells as surrogate activated T cells. DC, through the production of soluble mediators, stimulated by 3- to 6-fold the proliferation and subsequent recovery of B cells. Furthermore, after CD40 ligation, DC enhanced by 30-300-fold the secretion of IgG and IgA by sIgD- B cells (essentially memory B cells). In the presence of DC, naive sIgD+ B cells produced, in response to interleukin-2, large amounts of IgM. Thus, in addition to activating naive T cells in the extrafollicular areas of secondary lymphoid organs, DC may directly modulate B cell growth and differentiation.
抗原捕获后,树突状细胞(DC)迁移至次级淋巴器官中富含T细胞的区域,在那里它们诱导T细胞活化,随后驱动B细胞活化。在此,我们使用转染了CD40L的L细胞作为替代活化T细胞,研究体外产生的DC是否能直接调节B细胞反应。DC通过产生可溶性介质,刺激B细胞增殖并使其随后恢复3至6倍。此外,CD40连接后,DC使sIgD - B细胞(主要是记忆B细胞)的IgG和IgA分泌增加30至300倍。在DC存在的情况下,幼稚sIgD + B细胞在白细胞介素 - 2的刺激下产生大量IgM。因此,除了在次级淋巴器官的滤泡外区域激活幼稚T细胞外,DC可能还直接调节B细胞的生长和分化。
