The CD5+ B cell: a B cell lineage with a central role in autoimmune disease?

Autoimmunity
J E CalvertP Bird

Abstract

It is apparent that B cells are heterogeneous with respect to, for example, the antigens they express on their surface, and the stimuli to which they can respond. It is still unclear to what extent these differences relate to the stage of differentiation (eg. virgin B cells differing from activated B cells or memory cells), or whether distinct developmental lineages might exist. It has been proposed by some authors that, in the mouse, B cells expressing the ly-1 antigen constitute a separate lineage. In man also, a minor population of B cells expresses detectable levels of the CD5 antigen, but far less information is available about these cells. Interest in the CD5+ and ly-1+ B cell subpopulations has been further stimulated by the suggestion that these cells might play a special role in autoimmune disease. Although, in mouse, ly-1+ B cells differ in several respects from ly-1- B cells, the main evidence that they form a separate lineage derives from experiments in which ly-1+ B cells could not be reconstituted with adult bone marrow. It should be borne in mind that the situation is quite different in humans where, following bone marrow transplantation, CD5+ B cells are rapidly restored. Moreover, in the irradiated mice, at lea...Continue Reading

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.
