Outline
B cells as antigen-presenting cells (APC):
T cell expansion and differentiation in vivo requires antigen presentation by B cells. Crawford et al. J Immunol 2006
Antigen-presenting B cells: role in induction of peripheral T cell tolerance Raimondi et al. J Immunol 2006.
The Journal of Immunology, 2006, 176: 3498–3506.
Background
Though B cells are well documented as APC, their role in supporting and programming the T cell response in vivo is still unclear
Studies using B cell-deficient (MT) mice have given rise to contradictory results.
Methods
Mixed BM chimeric mice to define the contribution that B cells make as APC.
Can generate TCR-Tg mice where B cell compartment is deficient in MHC class II, while other APC are largely normal.
Other mice: CD40 deficient, LT deficient.
Observations (i) T cell clonal expansion is significantly reduced
(ii) Differentiation of T cells into cytokine-secreting effector cells is impaired (in particular, Th2 cells)
(iii) Development of the memory T cell populations is also decreased.
Furthermore: Although MHC class II-mediated presentation by B cells was crucial for an optimal T cell response, neither a B cell-specific lack of CD40 (influencing costimulation) nor lymphotoxin (influencing lymphoid tissue architecture) had any effect on the T cell response.
Reduced T cell proliferation in B cell deficient (MT) mice
Good reconstitution in mixed BM chimera (non-B cells mostly wild-type, all B cells MHC class II deficient)
MHC class II on B cells in chimeric versus Wild type
Preserved architecture in LN of chimerics and wild type(T cell: Green; B cell: red)
Decreased ova-II T cell expansion in absence of MHC class II on B cells
Deficient T cell expansion could be restored with addition of wild type B cells
Impaired memory response to viral antigen in MHC-deficient B cell chimerics – assessed by T cell tetramer
Primary response Recall response
Impaired T cell cytokine production in chimeric mice
T cell expansion in the chimerics is not dependent on CD40 signaling by B cells
Similarly, T cell expansion in the chimerics is not dependent on LT signaling by B cells
Conclusions
In vivo, B cells provide extra and essential Ag presentation capacity over and above that provided by dendritic cells
In this context, B cells optimize expansion and allow the generation of memory and effector T cells

TLR stimulation is required for induction of Ig isotype switch and differentiation to Ig-secreting (plasma) cells.
Anti-Ig, T help and CpG, induce strong RNA expression of:

Toll-like receptors (TLRs) make it possible for B cells to ‘sense’
the environment (viruses, bacteria) and respond to external stimuli
TLR signaling is important for normal B cell activation
Ruprecht, Lanzavecchia, 2006; Medzhitov. Nature. Pasare, 2006.
TLR signaling may cause B cells to become abnormally activated,
and may lead to production of auto-antibodies Lau et al. J Exp Med. 2005;
Martin, Elkon. J Exp Med, 2005; Fields et al. J Immunol 2006

B Cells as Active Immune Regulators via Effector Cytokines - role in immune regulation
• Memory B cells, stimulated by their Ag (BCR) and subsequent T cell help (CD40), secrete TNF and LT, thereby actively contributing to efficiency of adaptive memory immune responses
• Naive B cells (normally harboring autoreactive repertoire), stimulated in “bystander” context (CD40 only), secrete IL-10 that could acquiesce otherwise undesired response
