Abstract

Polyclonal B cell activation is a well-described feature of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), but the immune mechanisms leading to this activation are unclear. To gain insight into these processes, we extensively characterized the activated peripheral blood B cell populations in SLE. PBMC from lupus patients and healthy controls were stained with various combinations of conjugated Ab to identify distinct peripheral B cell subsets, and activation was assessed by measurement of forward scatter and CD80 or CD86 expression using flow cytometry. SLE patients had altered proportions of several B cell subsets, many of which demonstrated increased activation as assessed by forward scatter. This activation occurred at an early developmental stage, as B cells in the transitional (T2) stage were already significantly larger than those seen in controls. Increased proportions of CD80- or CD86-expressing cells were also seen in multiple B cell subsets, with the most striking differences observed in the naive CD27-CD23+ population. Within the CD23+ subset, increased costimulatory molecule expression was most pronounced in an IgD+IgMlow population, suggesting that activation follows Ag engagement. Although controls also had IgD+IgMlowCD23+ c...Continue Reading

B cells: Gene Expression

B lymphocytes are white blood cells that play a role in the adaptive immune system by secreting antibodies. Here is the latest research on gene expression in B cells.

B cell Activation

B cell activation is initiated by the ligation of the B cell receptor with antigen and ultimately results in the production of protective antibodies against potentially pathogenic invaders. Here is the latest research.

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.
