Acquisition of innate B cell properties and generation of autoreactive IgA antibodies by follicular B cells during homeostatic proliferation by Laura Kampe, Laura Kampe, Christian Melcher, Christian Melcher, Katrin Westphal, Katrin Westphal, Korbinian Brand, Niko Föger, Niko Föger, Kyeong-Hee Lee, Kyeong-Hee Lee

“…Employing adoptive transfer of different mature B cell subsets into lymphopenic Rag2-/- hosts, we here show that not only innate B cells – MZBs and B1a cells – but also adaptive FoBs were capable to differentiate into PCs and to produce IgM and class-switched IgA serum antibodies in a T cell-independent fashion during homeostatic proliferation. In light of the poor reactivity of FoBs to innate stimulation in vitro, the observed high expansion capacity of FoBs, their sustained repopulation of lymphoid and intestinal organs and their particularly prominent ability to induce class-switched auto-/polyreactive IgA antibodies in this antigen- and T cell-independent system was rather unexpected. …”
