A Filarial Nematode-Secreted Product Signals Dendritic Cells to Acquire a Phenotype That Drives Development of Th2 Cells

Abstract

Although exogeneous “danger” signals such as LPS can activate APC to produce a Th1 response, the nature of events initiating a Th2 response is controversial. We now show that pathogen-derived products have the capacity to induce bone marrow-derived dendritic cell cultures to acquire a phenotype that promotes the differentiation of naive CD4+ T cells toward either a Th1 or Th2 phenotype. Thus, LPS-matured dendritic cells (DC1) promote a Th1 response (increased generation of IFN-γ and reduced production of IL-4) by Ag-stimulated CD4+ T cells from the DO.11.10 transgenic mouse expressing a TCR specific for an OVA peptide (OVA323–339). In contrast, a phosphorylcholine-containing glycoprotein, ES-62, secreted by the filarial nematode, Acanthocheilonema viteae, which generates a Th2 Ab response in vivo, is found to induce the maturation of dendritic cells (DC2) with the capacity to induce Th2 responses (increased IL-4 and decreased IFN-γ). In addition, we show that the switch to either Th1 or Th2 responses is not effected by differential regulation through CD80 or CD86 and that a Th2 response is achieved in the presence of IL-12.

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.
