Decreased expression of tumor necrosis factor family receptors involved in humoral immune responses in preterm neonates
Abstract
Neonates have an increased rate of infection with encapsulated bacteria compared with older children and adults because of diminished antibody responses to T-independent (TI) antigens such as bacterial polysaccharides. Because the interactions of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) family ligands BAFF and APRIL with the TNF family receptors (TNFRs) TACI, BCMA, and BAFF-R are crucial to TI antibody responses, we measured the expression of these receptors on adult and cord blood–derived term and preterm neonatal B cells. Preterm neonatal B cells expressed less TACI, BCMA, and BAFF-R compared with adult B cells and had significantly less proliferation compared with adult B cells after stimulation with human recombinant BAFF and anti-IgM in an assay in which TACI-Fc fusion protein inhibits B-cell proliferation. In addition, neonatal dendritic cells had diminished expression of B7–1, B7–2, and CD40 compared with adult cells. Finally, neonatal B cells, particularly preterm B cells, exhibited markedly decreased production of IgG and IgA in response to CD40L and IL-10. Overall, this study shows that maturational delay in TNFR expression particularly by preterm neonatal B cells may interfere with effective antibody responses to TI antigens, cognate T- and B-cell interactions and normal isotype switching.

Neonatal B cells express low levels of co-receptors, limiting their capacity to respond.
“However, neonatal B cells express low levels of these co-receptors, limiting their capacity to respond [33].”

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.
