Anti CD5 sustains the proliferative response of IgM-activated human CD5+ B cells

Abstract

The CD5 molecule is expressed by most T cells but it is present on a minor B cell subset. Whilst several studies have provided information on the physiological role of T cell CD5, the functional role of CD5 on B lymphocytes remains unclear. To address this question, tonsillar CD5+ B cells were sorted by dual-colour fluorescence and FACS. Sorted cells were stimulated with polyclonal anti-IgM antibodies (Ab), and monoclonal (MoAb) F(ab')2 fragments of anti-CD5. Proliferative responses were evaluated by enumeration of Ki-67 positive cells using quantitative flow cytometry. Co-stimulation with anti-CD5 MoAb for 3 days did not affect the anti-IgM and IL2-induced proliferation of CD5+ B cells. This was seen under conditions where the anti-CD5 was soluble, adsorbed to the microwells or cross-linked by anti-mouse antibodies. Fewer CD25+ cells were detected, however, in the presence of anti-CD5. In contrast, the proliferative response of CD5+ B cells prestimulated for 3 days with IL-2 and anti-IgM, was sustained in a further 3-day culture period when anti-CD5 was added. It is concluded that CD5 occupancy might provide an additional signal to activated CD5+ B cells favouring their proliferation and differentiation into autoantibody secre...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
