Abstract
CpG ODN2006 is widely used as a potent B cell stimulant in vitro and in vivo. However, it shows a deficit in targeting naïve B cells in vitro. In this study, we investigated whether α-IgM can support ODN2006-induced effects on B cells to obtain enhanced activation with focus on different B cell subsets.
Our results delineated robust B cell activation, shown by increased activation marker expression and cytokine secretion by each agent alone, and further augmented when used in combination. Interestingly, α-IgM targeted mainly naïve and marginal zone-like B cells, thus complementing the pronounced effects of ODN2006 on memory B cells and achieving optimal activation for all B cell subsets.
Taken together, combining ODN2006 and α-IgM is beneficial for in vitro activation including all B cell subsets. Furthermore, our results suggest that α-IgM could enhance efficacy of ODN2006 in vivo with further need of investigation.
额外使用 α-IgM 抗体可通过主要靶向幼稚和边缘区样 B 细胞,增强 CpG ODN2006 诱导的 B 细胞活化作用
CpG ODN2006 被广泛用作体外和体内的强效 B 细胞刺激剂。然而,它在体外靶向幼稚 B 细胞方面存在缺陷。在这项研究中,我们研究了 α-IgM 是否能支持 ODN2006 诱导的对 B 细胞的作用,从而增强对不同 B 细胞亚群的激活。有趣的是,α-IgM 主要针对幼稚和边缘区样 B 细胞,从而补充了 ODN2006 对记忆 B 细胞的明显作用,并实现了所有 B 细胞亚群的最佳活化。此外,我们的研究结果表明,α-IgM 可以提高 ODN2006 在体内的疗效,但还需要进一步研究。
