Role of the B-cell response in recovery of mice from primary influenza virus infection

Immunological Reviews
W GerhardK Maiese

Abstract

Recovery from influenza virus infection has long been known to require an intact T-cell compartment. More recent studies revealed that CD8 and CD4 T cells can promote recovery through independent mechanisms. The CD4 T-cell-dependent recovery process appears to operate primarily through promotion of the T-dependent antibody response as B-cell-deficient microMT mice cannot recover from infection if they have been depleted of CD8 T cells. The potential therapeutic activity of the B-cell response was further studied by transfer of antibodies into infected SCID mice. At the dose of 200 micrograms/mouse, most antibodies (of IgG2a isotype) to the viral transmembrane protein HA cured the infection, while those to the transmembrane proteins NA and M2 suppressed virus titers in the lung but failed to clear the infection. The ability of passive antibody to resolve the infection was closely related to its prophylactic activity, suggesting that neutralization of progeny virus (VN) played an important role in the process of virus clearance in vivo, while reaction of antibodies with infected host cells contributed to but was insufficient, on its own, for cure. HA-specific antibodies of IgM and IgA isotypes were therapeutically ineffective aga...Continue Reading

Antibody-Dependent Cell Cytotoxicity

Antibody-dependent cellular toxicity refers to the lysis of a target cell by a non-sensitized effector cell of the immune system as a result of antibodies binding to the target cell membrane and engaging the Fc receptors on the immune effector cells.
