Immunology Lecture #12
Tuesday, 19th of July, 2011
Colleagues :) just to let you know; the first 4 pages are only a revision for the last lecture
and an introduction for the next two lectures, so either you skip them or read them it's up
to you!
Well keep reminding you of your immunology exam; which is on Saturday at 8:15 in the
morning, so everybody should know where hes going to be seated.
Last time we were discussing the cells and organs of the immune system. We talked about the
primary and secondary lymphoid organs, and the function of each one of them.
And finally we talked about the trafficking or homing of the lymphocytes, how those when
they come out of the primary, then theyll develop, they will recognize the self from the
non-self by the positive and negative selection process. And then theyll come to the
secondary lymphoid organs where they are supposed to meet their antigenic counterparts.
They will react, then theyll grow and differentiate and produce their effector products
whether immunoglobulins or activated lymphocytes; T helper and T cytotoxic.
And the activation process as youll see is one arm. When the antigen has to be presented
with the MHC through an antigen presenting cell to the T helper cell; this is a one arm or one
signal. And well tell you the second signal and from where it is going to come from and the
accessory molecules that are going to be involved in this process.
And we talked about how those will keep circulating in the secondary lymphoid organs, the
lymph vessels, and then the thoracic duct, and then the left subclavian vein in the circulation,
and back to the tissues. And they do that once or twice a day hoping to meet their antigenic
counterpart, and if they do not, then theyll disintegrate and die! The process takes couple of
years in order to commit suicide and die!
And we said that what is going to happen if a primary lymphoid organ is shut down, or if it isnot there they patient in not born with it-, then the patient will be severely
immunocompromized. But if you remove the thymus gland in particular after birth, then here
usually nothing is going to happen. While you cannot do that for the bone marrow; because it
is involved in other products, then you are going to have consequences related to the other
cell products; the red cell line series, neutrophiles and macrophages and platelets as well and
other growth factors that are needed.

And we said that those cells as they go through the secondary lymphoid organs they have to
be arrested first, and their speed should be reduced. And they do that through the receptors
and through the ligands and what we call the selectins. And then after that we have what we
call addressins that theyll slow down, and the integrins that come out of the inflammatory
process that precedes that process.
So new antigens will develop on the endothelial lines like the VLA-4, for example, where it is
going to bind to its counterpart on the cell, leukocyte function antigen, ICAM antigens, for
example. And then the extravasation is going to take place or the diapedesis, and then they
will be near towards the area of infection by what we call the chemotactic factors.
And those of course in the secondary lymphoid organs that theyll enlarge, and there will be
pain and tender related to the interaction that is going to develop; antibodies are going to
come out or activated T lymphocytes and memory as well will develop for second encounters.
and tomorrow well be going to talk about how B cells are going to develop. We
talked about the activation of B cells and the activation of T cells and how the signal can pass
through. But today well talk about how they are going to develop from stem cells till they
become mature in the primary lymphoid organs, and when they go to the secondary lymphoid
organs, and what are the consequences.
Remember that we said when a cell is going to develop; there are certain markers that were
going to see. Like in the stem cells the CD34, and when the cells start to grow and develop,
those markers are going to disappear and other markers are going to appear that are needed
here for the development process, the enzymes, and the gene rearrangements that we have
talked about before, or the development of the B cell receptor and the T cell receptor, and
how that is going to be modified through the process of self recognition; recognizing the
self antigens. So those cells are going to be deleted, and this is what we call the
And we end up with cells that are only going to recognize foreign antigens and we
call that .
Well tell you how the processes of negative and positive selection are going to take place.
The negative selection process leads to a term that we always use and we call it .
Tolerance means that an antigen whether it is self or non-self if you dont have a reaction
against, then this process is called tolerance. And here we call that antigen .
And well see how this process of tolerance is going to take place in the primary lymphoid
organs in the bone marrow, or in the thymus gland, and we call this . Or if any
of those cells managed to escape or not to recognize or exposed to self antigens in the thymus
gland or in the bone marrow, and how they are going to develop what we call
.

So I want you to know these terms central tolerance and how we recognize self antigens in the
primary lymphoid organs, and peripheral tolerance where these lymphocytes if they manage
to escape the primary lymphoid organs. And we still have some antigens that they could be
exposed to, and what are the mechanisms that theyll develop, and we call that peripheral
tolerance. And you can assure that those lymphocytes are not going to react against selfantigens and develop an autoimmune disease.
. And then well talk
about the second signal, the interactions between the lymphocytes; the T and the B through
the antigen presenting cells, and the other molecules that are going to be involved and the
cytokines. And this will sum up almost ALL the interactions that are between an antigen,
antigen presenting cells, and the lymphocytes; and whether they are T cells or B cells.
And youll see that the relationship between the receptors, the antigenic determinant, the role
of MHC, and the cytokines that are involved, and of course the accessory molecules that well
be talking about as time will come.
So you can see here the process of B cell development from a stem cell into a mature cell, and
then plasma cells and memory cell passes through many stages. And during these stages youll
see that some markers will appear and some markers will disappear, and the processes that we
should know in each step what is going to happen, and if there is a problem in every step, then
well going to have a severe immunocompromised condition.
So the process starts with the hematopoietic stem cells and the CD34, and then the lymphoid
progenerator that will give you the B lymphocytes and of course will give you the natural killer
cells as they could be a consequence of that. And then well going to have a pro-B cell that
starts to develop here new antigens like CD19, and the CD19 will continue on the surface till
the end mature B cell.
And then we have the early pre-B cell where the gene rearrangement will start to take place,
and the development of the pre-B cell receptor. And well see the involvement of what we call
the when they develop into the late pre-B cell. Early and pre where the gene
rearrangement will put on hold, because they just want one new gene to be rearranged, and
well have just one specificity. And if they keep doing that, well have more than one specificity
on the surface, but that doesnt happen this way! So youll see how the gene rearrangement
will be upregulated and downregulated during that process; early to late.
So the outcome here is the development of what we call the immature B cell, this is ALL in the
bone marrow. And youre going to see how this B cell receptor is going to develop, and the
process by which they are going to recognize the self antigens, so theyll be deleted or theyll
be in a frozen state, and we call that .

And then theyll come out as mature cells into the blood and then into the secondary lymphoid
organs; where they are going to develop into plasma cells or into a memory cells, and then the
memory cells will go into the plasma cell immediately, and theyll give you the antibody that is
involved.
And then well see when the immature B cell that is still in the bone marrow recognizing a self
antigen, then theyll try to change, and we call that . So they try to change and
to switch that specificity, so if theyre successful, then it will continue and go to the secondary
lymphoid organs, and if it fails, then that is supposed to be deleted, or they could go into the
circulation where other mechanisms in the peripheral tolerance where they could delete those
as well see.
So well notice that the change for the tolerance, the central tolerance that occurs at the
receptor is going to involve the light chain. So the light chain whether it is Kappa or lambda; it
plays a role in trying to switch or re-edit or to change its specificity and not to bind to self
antigens as were going to see.
So let's start now talking in more details :)
B-Cell Development
The process of the B cell development starts from the area close to the bone; the peripheral
part (the endosteal surface) and goes toward the central part (central marrow space) where
we will have the mature B cell.
Figure 14.1: very close to the bone you can see hematopoietic stem cells marked by CD34, and
then they will start to develop into the progenitors; pro-B cells then the pre-B cells where the
BCR starts to develop. And there is a light chainlike; called (its not the
original one, you will read about it in a seconds), and then you have macrophages; they are
needed for the negative selection process to take place, they will phagocytose all those that
are supposed to react against self antigens. And they will end up having immature B cells, then
they will go to the circulation as mature cells to the secondary lymphoid organs.
So the process goes this way from the periphery to the central, around almost 80% of these
lymphocytes that start developing will be deleted, because they will recognize self antigens,
so less than 20% will go to the secondary lymphoid organs (In T lymphocytes more than 95%
will be deleted so we end up with less than 5% that will be selected to go to the secondary
lymphoid organs).

Figure14.2: look at the surface markers; we start with the CD34 present only on the
hematopoietic stem cell and maybe on the pro-B cell, after development it will disappear.
CD19 doesn't present on the stem cell but starts to develop at the pro-B cell and continues
all the way till the mature B cell. CD19 can be excellent marker to separate B-cells from T-
cells.
Expression of RAG genes; at the stem cells nothing is going to happen, process starts at the
pro-B cell, it will start with JH and DH, so the heavy chain starts to rearrange and then
surrogate light chain (L ) will be added and then the light chain at the end of the immature
level. So their expression will start to form the heavy chain then they will be downregulated
during early pre-B cell stage when VH and DHJH are rearranged to ensure that DHJHwont
select another specificity, then expression of RAG genes will be upregulated again to form the
light chain at the late pre-B cell stage and at the immature they will stop.
Adding of the constant region will happen at the late pre-B cell; C will be selected thus IgM
will be the first Ig to be produced. The CL will be added finally at the immature state. Earlier
there we will have surrogate light chain (L) that will help this process to shape the BCR, this
L will start to develop at the pro-B cell and continues to the early pre-B cell, so this
surrogate light chain will develop temporarily to help the heavy chain and it will disappear at
the late pre-B cell when the rearrangement of the light chain is going to develop (VL to JL
rearrangement). Notice when we have the surrogate light chain the receptor will be called
pre-BCR, and we will not have complete BCR until the cell is going to the secondary lymphoid
organs as immature cell.
The significance of the BCR at the immature that itstill has the chance to change its specificitythrough the receptor editing process if they recognize self antigen before going to the
lymphoid organs where they will not be able to edit anymore.
B-Cell development
mIg (membrane Ig) and BCR genes rearrangement at the germline level. Then the pro-B cell. Negative selection process occurs during which only positively-selected cells will end
up going to the circulation, if this process failed autoimmunity will develop. Positively-
selected cells will go to the secondary lymphoid organs where they can meet their
antigenic counterparts, terminally differentiated to antibody producing cells. If the cell
didnt encounter antigen they are going to die after maybe 1 year, so it will take a
chance to be exposed to foreign antigen.
Then pre-B cell early and late. Immature B cells. Then cell goes to the circulation as mature B cells and finally they will change to plasmaor memory cells.

Stem cell to Immature cell
The scenario starts from yolk sac to the fetal liver then to the bone marrow; immatureto peripheral and more mature cells to the central part, stromal cells contribute growth
factors that are needed for the process of development e.g. IL-7 that plays a major rolein gene rearrangement.
is the earliest stage; starts with the CD19, DHJH to VH rearrangement thenexpression will follow.
Then the where the surrogate light chain will be added surrounding the
C , Ig & Ig for the signal to pass through pre-BCR. At this stage there is suppression
of RAG1 & RAG2 and TdT to ensure we will obtain only one specificity, if they remain
active we could develop more than one specificity and if those enzymes arent present
we could end up with severe combined immune deficiency.
where RAG genes are upregulated again to produce VL to JLrearrangement.
which is the final stage where the actual light chain & will
be added, so this is the immature BCR that could go into receptor editing as was
mentioned before, positively-selected cells in the negative selection process will go
into mature cells to the peripheral lymphoid organs.
In this process one specificity will come out, it comes either from the father or from the
mother in a process we call ; only one allelic form will come out; (not like the
MHC) both allele 1 and allele 2 will be rearranged but only one will be shifted, the process ofchoosing one allele and not the other one is not really clear.
Figure 14.3: if the first way failed, for example, then the other one will continue, if neither of
them succeeded the process will stop and the cell is going to die.
Figure 14.4: in the light chain we could have & ; if V1kJ1
kproceeded then we will get light
chain with certain specificity, if it didnt continue then V2
kJ2
kmay continue and we will get
another light chain with another specificity, if not they will try the , so we will end up with
one allele either from the father or from the mother with particular specificity, if neither of
the alleles succeeded to continue, then the cell will die.
* Allelic exclusion: one specificity from the mother or from the father is going to be
expressed, this is related to both heavy and light chains *
Ordered Ig gene segment rearrangement and allelic exclusion
- One heavy chain with one type of light chain, one parental chromosome is going to be
expressed at a time (allelic exclusion), this result in just having one specificity on a cell (clonal
selection theory), otherwise more than one specificity will arise on the same cell and we don'twant that to happen of course!

What about the IgM and IgD? When the immature B cell develops, it starts with IgM antibody
on the surface, and when it goes to the secondary lymphoid organs, the IgD is going to be
expressed more. So the more IgD you are going to have on the surface of the cell, the more
maturity of B cell, the more age, the more development, and vice versa.
So the first Ig that will appear on the surface of the immature B cells is the IgM, transitional
stage B cell: surface IgM and then it starts to develop the IgD and when they go ahead to the
mature form we will have both. And remember: IgM and IgD are co-expressed on the surface
by alternative splicing starts with the IgM first and then the IgD, so they are both going to be
expressed on the surface.
Immatue to Mature B-cell transition
This is a very important step in the positive and negative selection where the cell still have a
chance to re-edit the receptor; the IgM and IgD. And the editing process will only involve the
light chain.
During the development from immature to mature the enzyme RAG-1 and RAG-2 will be
downregulated; it makes sense when we want to have one specificity, the surface IgM
expression increased, surface IgD begins to appear, and finally it ends up with mature B cell
having IgM and IgD on the surface.
This mature one which will go to the secondary lymphoid organs we call it now Nave orvirgin
B cell where it will meet its antigenic counterpart. And when it meets its antigenic counterpart
the first time we call that cell primed.
We can study the gene rearrangements through PCR and we can use it to make diagnosis of
malignancies related to B cells.

For example, this is a control
monoclonal B cells, this is lymph-node
DNA control showing polyclonal
ladder, this is patient sample 1 with B-
cell lymphoma, this is patient sample 2with another B-cell lymphoma, and in
lane 4 you can see the other genes but
the one dominant monoclonal product
can be seen here, and we can know
what is that particular gene that is
responsible for that malignancy since
we have the primer and that primer
can be labeled.
Nowadays, we don't do that anymore, we rely on the cell markers that appear on the surface
of those cells.
This is the process of negative selection. Look at the development of the immature B cell to
mature B cell that has the surface IgM and IgD. In the immature form the IgD has not
developed yet. But how those cells are going to be negatively-selected? We can see here two
processes that are going to take place: the first one- if the receptor is going to be cross-linked
with self antigens, it is going to make a deletion for the B cell. The second one- if the antigen
is soluble and the B-cell receptor can be exposed to that then the cell will go into a statecalled ; the cell is going to be frozen.
7/31/2019 Immuno . Lec 12

So here we have multivalent cell surface self antigen where extensive BCR cross-linking takes
place and when that happens then maturational arrest is going to take place and receptor
editing tries to fix the problem. If it was successful then it will be positively-selected and if it
fails the cell is going to die.
And the same applies if we have high dose of soluble self antigens where we have limited B-
cell cross-linking and then functional inactivation of anergy is going to take place.
The difference between the immature and the mature is only the receptor editing; where it
can take place in the immature while it cannot in the mature.
This is really interesting here where the negative selection process is going to take place in the
bone marrow when those immature B cells are exposed to self antigens, during that process, if
you inject an antigen to the bone marrow and those immature B cells reacted against that one
they will consider that as a self antigen and the receptor will be edited and that antigen isgoing to be selected as self antigen although it is a foreign antigen.
So any antigen the B cell get exposed to during its development, it will be considered as self
antigen and it will be recognized in the future as self antigen and that strains against that
particular antigen are going to be deleted. And you can exchange grafts of that particular
antigen that you have inserted in the early development. That is really interesting! ^^
Figure 14.8: This is how the process of the receptor editing is going to take place and
remember that this process is going to take place through the light chain only; either kappa or
lambda. So here for example, this is the immature B cell and we have cross-linking of self
antigen so what's going to happen? You see here the kappa light chain genes; V and J where
gene rearrangement is going to take place and one is going to be selected. If we already have
V1, for example, we will try to have another one, say V2, in attempt to change that particular
self-reactive specificity and to change that receptor from a one that can bind self antigens to
one that cannot. If it was successful then that cell is going to be positively-selected, and if it
wasn't successful, it will try again, but if it again fails then that cell is going to be deleted.
Receptor editing mechanism is one of the mechanisms that B cells use to be so evasive from
binding to self antigens.
Induction of Tolerance
: Deleted or functionally inactive B cells when encounter self antigen.
7/31/2019 Immuno . Lec 12

11| P a g e
: it is when B cells do not respond when challenged with self antigens; it is the
process of not-recognizing self antigen. We said that we have central tolerancewhere the
recognition is going to take place in the primary lymphoid organs ORperipheral tolerance
when the recognition is going to take place in the secondary lymphoid organs. Tolerance is
needed to prevent autoimmune diseases.
Some microorganisms manage to disguise themselves as self antigens, so they will be tolerant
to our immune cells, like schistosomes which cover themselves with self antigens e.g. blood
antigens, MHC antigens, so they will be recognized as self.
BCR cross-linking and antigen dose are which will determine the mechanism of tolerance;
cross-linking the receptors together or the antigen dose is high.
Again and again :D Receptor editing following V(D)J rearrangements is by changing the light
chain.
Clonal deletion: if that clone recognizes self antigen then it is going to be deleted.
Polyvalent VS monovalent antigen and dose: Polyvalent that will cross-link, and monovalent
where the dose is high and it will lead to anergy.
Only 20% of B cells survive to periphery and 80% is going to be negatively-selected.
Additional Tolerance Induction (peripheral tolerance- The mature B cell line)
If it wasn't completely successful at the central level since not all self antigens are present in
Bone marrow; then we could have some B cells that can react against self antigens in the
circulation.
Antigen engagement is crucial for survival, otherwise deletion or anergy develops.
Multivalent antigen induces cell deletion while monovalent induces anergy.
When sIgM and sIgD develops no change occurs.
When an antigen is presented with an antigen presenting cell then the process is going to be
very effective and the memory cell will develop and that particular antigen will go through
this process of antigen presentation and so on, we call that thymus-dependent. We mean by
thymus dependent; the involvement of T-helper cells. And this is crucial for isotype switching
and the development of memory cells. Isotype switching is the development of
immunoglobulins other than IgM. This gives more efficiency for the system.

Figure 14.9: Look here for the mature IgM and the IgD antibody on the B-cell: when the
antibody is bound to IgM and IgD its going to be taken inside the cell, processed and
presented to the T-helper cell. So the T-helper cell is going to be activated to produce the
cytokines, then the cell can develop into a plasma cell and antibodies will develop and then
they can go into ImprovedB-cell (B-cell with improved BCR) and memory cells will develop.
When the memory cells are already have exposed to antigen, the time is going to be shorter
and more efficient. So this is the Thymus Depenedent Anigens. This process occurs in the
secondary lymphoid organs; lymph nodes or spleen, and thats why these organs get enlarged.
Activation and antibody production
It occurs in the secondary lymphoid organs where there are antigen-presenting cells.
Remember that we have T-cell dependent area where there are T helper-cells.
B-cells keep circulating till they meet their antigenic counterparts and become prime, if they
don't, the B-cell is going to disintegrate and die after a period of time. Remember that!
The role of T helper is extremely important because it provides the process with cytokines,
lymphokines and MHC antigen class 2 which is required for antigen presentation on the
antigen presenting cells.
Thymus dependent antigens thymus independent antigens: when a B-cell encounters an
antigen and can be triggered, like when we have certain polysaccharide antigens that they
cross-link the surface of the B-cell and trigger it, itll only produce IgM antibodies, no memorycells and no isotype switching, while if the process involves antigen presenting, class 2 MHC
antigens, T helper and the cytokines then they are going to develop into memory cells and
we'll have isotype switching (IgG antibodies and other antibodies). So the process is extremely
efficient with the thymus dependent.
Continued Selection of B cells in Lymphoid follicles
Continued selection of B-cells in the lymphoid follicles is required for signal induction; the
receptor has to be occupied.
Primary follicles; the first time they occur in the lymph nodes. Secondary follicle is the second
time.
And the fate of antigen encountering is plasma cells and memory cells development.
Germinal centers, affinity maturation and class switching: remember the somatic
hypermutation for a better fit, so the quality of IGs that will develop in the thymus dependent
are going to be much better. Which is called it affinity maturation.

Plasma cells dont respond to antigens but memory cells do so, they can develop into plasma
cells. Plasma cells dont have receptors on their surfaces, their function is just to produce the
Igs.
Figure 14.10: This is what happens in the secondary lymphoid organs as you can see in the
assigned area. Here you have whats called follicular dendritic cells that present the antigen at
their surfaces, but these cells dont have class 2; they have an Fc receptor and complement
receptor that binds the antibody and the antigen if they are immune complexes. And then you
have the B-cell and its receptor that are going to bind, theyll be activated and this is another
mechanism of activation then plasma cells and memory cells development. So an APC is
crucial for that particular process, and it occurs in the B-cell zone.
Thymus-Independent Antigens
Activation without B-cell help, cytokines involvement and class 2 MHC. The secondsignal is derived from the antigen itself. Examples on thymus-independent antigens are
repeating polymers antigens, bacterial polysaccharides, dextran and lipopolysaccharides. Fast
response when needed. But the thymus dependent is more effective process.
Figure 14.11: Again, this is the thymus independent. Just cross linking of the antigen receptors
(surface IgM) would be enough to induce a signal, this signal will produce IgM antibody only
without affinity maturation, without isotype switching.
B cell repertoire during human cell developmentWhen the B-cells start to develop and the development of IgD antibodies, the B-cells thatdevelop early in life differ from the B-cells that adults have. For example the B-cells that are
developed in fetal life are called B1-cells, but the ones that develop later in life are called B2-
conventional cells and they have the IgD and they are more mature. When B-cells develop
they have a CD5 marker which is presented only on early B-cells, its supposed to disappear
when we grow up, if it fails to disappear then this is a marker of malignancy (chronic
lymphocytic leukemia).
They have noticed that the type of the Ig that developed by the fetal B-cell early in life are
called natural antibodies. These natural antibodies have a broad specificity compared to that
of conventional B-lymphocytes antibodies that develop later in life, and it makes sense here:
you need immunoglobulins with broad specificity early in life compared with
immunoglobulins with high specificity in later in life.
We have limited specificity early in life, few variable heavy genes, lack of TdT, so they dont
change that frequent. The B-cell receptor of B1 type cross reacted with many antigen
specificities, thats why they are called natural antibodies.

Introduction to Chapter 15 - T-cell development
The T-cell development is exactly the same as the B-cell development but the difference is
this occurs in the thymus gland and theres no allelic exclusion. Here we have the stem cells
that came from bone marrow, it goes to the thymus gland and start to develop in the
periphery as thymocytes and then they keep going to the cortex and then into the medulla
(Subcapsular, cortical then to the medulla).
The same mechanism that happened in the bone marrow is going to happen here again;
negative selection process which is in the B-cell development happened by exposure to self
antigens and in the T-cell it happens by exposure to class 1 and 2 MHC antigens.
There are two points about negative and positive selection:
1) Exposure to self MHC antigen (MHC restriction).
2) Binding to self antigens as well (tolerance).
We are talking about MHC class 1 and 2 and to which one the cell is going to bind whether its
a T helper or T cytotoxic cell. The MHC class will determine the type of T-cell bound.
Now when they go to the medulla; all of the negative selection are going to take place (98%
are going to be deleted), only 2% are going to escape from the thymus, they are going to help
B-cells and T-cells, they can cause destruction to cells through T cytotoxic cells and they could
activate inflammation through production of cytokines and chemotactic factors.
How diverse populations of T-cells with different specificities are going to develop? Positive
and negative selection, T-cells develop in the thymus gland, thymocytes mature to mature T-
cells, 98% of them die because of the negative selection process, remember that! Self tolerant
and self restricted; we need them to react against foreign antigens with the self MHC
antigens. You have to be familiar with these terms!
: not reactive against cell antigens.
: the T-lymphocyte should be used with the same MHC antigen.
