Abstract

A novel pathway of IgE-B cell differentiation has been identified. Engagement of the B cell antigen CD40 by F(ab')2 fragments of monoclonal antibody (mAb) 626.1 in the presence of recombinant interleukin 4 (rIL-4) induced intense IgE synthesis, but modest IgG synthesis, by highly purified human B cells. Surface IgE- B cells isolated by cell sorting were induced to produce IgE by mAb 626.1 and IL-4. Thus, IgE synthesis is unlikely to result from expansion of a B cell population precommitted to IgE in vivo. A neutralizing anti-IL-6 antibody strongly, but not completely, inhibited the IgE response. This indicates that autocrine production of IL-6 plays an important amplification role in IgE synthesis triggered by anti-CD40 mAb and IL-4. Although the exact role played by CD40 in IgE responses in vivo remains to be established, this T cell-independent system represents a useful model to characterize the biochemical and molecular events leading to IgE synthesis in human B cells.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
