Regulation of IgE synthesis by CD23/CD21 interaction

Abstract

At least two cell-derived signals have been shown to be necessary for the induction of immunoglobulin isotype switching in B cells. The first signal is given by either of the soluble lymphokines interleukin (IL)-4 or IL-13 which induce germline epsilon transcript expression, but alone is insufficient to trigger secretion of IgE. The second signal is provided by a physical interaction between B cells and activated T cells, basophils and mast cells, and it has been shown that the CD40/CD40L pairing is crucial for mediating IgE synthesis. In HIGM1 syndrome, which is characterized by greatly decreased levels of IgG, IgA and IgE, there are mutations in CD40L resulting in a completely non-functional extracellular domain. CD40L is therefore playing a central role in Ig switching. Amongst the numerous pairs of surface adhesion molecules, the CD23/CD21 pair seems to play a key role in the generation of IgE. The CD23 molecule is positively and negatively regulated by factors which increase or decrease IgE production, respectively. Antibodies to CD23 have been shown to inhibit IL-4-induced human IgE production in vitro and to inhibit antigen-specific IgE responses in a rat model, in an isotype-selective manner. CD23 interacts with CD21 on...Continue Reading

Basophils

Basophils are myeloid cells with a high affinity IgE receptor and is involved in inflammatory responses during allergy. Discover the latest research on Basophils here.

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. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.
