چکیده

Human IgM+ IgD+ CD27+ B cells have mutated Ig genes and harbor a splenic marginal zone (MZ) phenotype. In this issue, the group of R. Küppers has studied the expression of the enzyme activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) in human spleen samples by immunocytochemistry and failed to detect a significant AID-expressing subset in the MZ region. The consequences on the possible origin of these cells are discussed.

Circulating splenic marginal zone B cells in human

The human peripheral B cell compartment displays a large population of IgMIgDCD27 “memory” B cell carrying a mutated Ig receptor. We show here, by phenotypic analysis, CDR3 spectratyping during a T-independent response and gene expression profiling of the different blood and splenic B cell subsets, that blood IgMIgDCD27 cells correspond to circulating splenic marginal zone B cells. Furthermore,...

Human blood IgM "memory" B cells are circulating splenic marginal zone B cells harboring a prediversified immunoglobulin repertoire.

The human peripheral B-cell compartment displays a large population of immunoglobulin M-positive, immunoglobulin D-positive CD27(+) (IgM(+)IgD(+)CD27(+)) "memory" B cells carrying a mutated immunoglobulin receptor. By means of phenotypic analysis, complementarity-determining region 3 (CDR3) spectratyping during a T-independent response, and gene-expression profiling of the different blood and s...

Analysis of mutations in immunoglobulin heavy chain variable region genes of microdissected marginal zone (MGZ) B cells suggests that the MGZ of human spleen is a reservoir of memory B cells

The splenic marginal zone (MGZ), which surrounds the mantle zone (MTZ) in human splenic white pulp, contains a phenotypically and morphologically distinct population of B cells. The origin of MGZ B cells is uncertain. Whereas some experiments in rodents have suggested that they are a distinct cell lineage responsible for the immune response to T-independent type 2 antigens, others have suggeste...

Identification of Functional Human Splenic Memory B Cells by Expression of CD148 and CD27

Memory B cells isolated from human tonsils are characterized by an activated cell surface phenotype, localization to mucosal epithelium, expression of somatically mutated immunoglobulin (Ig) variable (V) region genes, and a preferential differentiation into plasma cells in vitro. In spleens of both humans and rodents, a subset of memory B cells is believed to reside in the marginal zone of the ...
