Abstract

ICOS is a new member of the CD28 family of costimulatory molecules that is expressed on activated T cells. Its ligand B7RP-1 is constitutively expressed on B cells. Although the blockade of ICOS/B7RP-1 interaction inhibits T cell-dependent Ab production and germinal center formation, the mechanism remains unclear. We examined the contribution of ICOS/B7RP-1 to the generation of CXCR5+ follicular B helper T (TFH) cells in vivo, which preferentially migrate to the B cell zone where they provide cognate help to B cells. In the spleen, anti-B7RP-1 mAb-treated or ICOS-deficient mice showed substantially impaired development of CXCR5+ TFH cells and peanut agglutinin+ germinal center B cells in response to primary or secondary immunization with SRBC. Expression of CXCR5 on CD4+ T cells was associated with ICOS expression. Adoptive transfer experiments showed that the development of CXCR5+ TFH cells was enhanced by interaction with B cells, which was abrogated by anti-B7RP-1 mAb treatment. The development of CXCR5+ TFH cells in the lymph nodes was also inhibited by the anti-B7RP-1 mAb treatment. These results indicated that the ICOS/B7RP-1 interaction plays an essential role in the development of CXCR5+ TFH cells in vivo.

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.
