[5] B cells may also be activated by binding foreign antigen in the periphery where they then move into the secondary lymphoid organs. Fourthly, antigen presentation by a memory B cell is associated with faster upregulation of the costimulatory molecules needed for complete activation of Th cells. All of the above, to put it simply, memory B cells are stored in lymph nodes etc. The gut immune system is best characterized for its ability to generate memory B cells, but the respiratory and genital tracts can also respond with memory B cell development. Although no further somatic hypermutation can occur in mature plasma cells, this process can continue in the progeny of the first generation of memory B cell clones in the GCs. This transcriptional repressor blocks the plasma cell differentiation pathway and forces the centrocyte to become a memory B cell. spleen and lymph nodes) where they can be activated by a floating foreign peptide brought in through the lymph or by antigen presented by antigen presenting cells (APCs) such as dendritic cells (DCs). [6] Additionally, the memory B cell does not need to have continual interaction with the antigen nor with T cells in order to survive long-term. Taken together, several lines of evidence indicate that human memory B cells might mostly reside in the spleen, and some memory B cells recirculate in the blood. You should take into account, that viability of memory B cells greatly depends on T cell help (follicular helper CD4 T cells). Importantly, all B cells derived from a specific progenitor B cell are clones that recognize the same antigen epitope. From a clonal perspective, memory B cells appear less mutated and poorly related to long-lived plasma cells, but after reactivation, responding memory B cells acquire more mutations and are now closely related to IgA plasma cells. A recent study of early B-cell responses after primary … When reintroduced to antigen, some of these B1 cells can differentiate into memory B cells without interacting with a T cell. The PPs are the prime sites for gut mucosal memory B cell stimulation and also the sites where most quiescent IgA+ memory B cells reside. After acquiring these mutations, the receptors on the surface of the B cells (B cell receptors) are tested within the germinal center for their affinity to the current antigen. [5], The B cells internalize the foreign peptides, break them down, and express them on class II major histocompatibility complexes (MHCII), which are cell surface proteins. The amount of fat in the BM also differs between mouse strains (11). For example, in response to an antigen first encountered in a lymph node, some of the memory B cells produced remain in the follicular mantle and are ready to react rapidly when a fresh dose of the antigen is conveyed to the lymph node. Dendritic Cells Dendritic cells reside in the skin, lymph nodes, and tissues throughout the body. [6], This subset of cells differentiates from activated B cells into memory B cells before entering the germinal center. [17], Vaccines are based on the notion of immunological memory. As you would expect from their names, these cells remember the virus or bacteria they just fought. In vivo, this could translate into an increased number of effector cells in the secondary and subsequent responses, and a control on the possible overexpansion of one particular memory B cell clone. It is best known as the cause of infectious mononucleosis ("mono" or "glandular fever"). Transfer of CD45R + bone marrow cells only resulted in antibody secretion if antigen was cotransferred, while transfer of CD45R – bone marrow cells, i.e. In this study, we describe the characteristics of memory B cells in various locations and discuss their possible contributions to immunity and homeostasis as bona fide BRM cells. Memory B-cells help ensure that if the enemy is encountered again in the future, the mortars are prepared. [3] Some researchers hypothesize that differentiation into memory B cells occurs randomly. Memory B cells can survive in secondary lymphoid organs in the absence of antigen and mediate secondary immune response on restimulation. [14] The lack of somatic hypermutation is hypothesized to be beneficial; a lower level of affinity maturation means that these memory B cells are less specialized to a specific antigen and may be able to recognize a wider range of antigens. B cell memory is thus exported from the site of its generation and established throughout the organism. They function in the humoral immunity component of the adaptive immune system by secreting antibodies. In this “decreasing potential hypothesis,” immunological memory is ultimately limited. Many of the factors controlling memory cell formation are similar to those involved in GC formation and plasma cell differentiation, with the exact molecular mechanism still under investigation [86]. 92 [2][3][10] The B cells that do not have high enough affinity to receive these survival signals, as well as B cells that are potentially auto-reactive, will be selected against and die through apoptosis. Following a second challenge with a pathogen, memory B cells present antigen to TFH cells, prompting memory plasma cell formation and possibly secondary germinal center formation [86]. [4], Memory B cells are typically distinguished by the cell surface marker CD27, although some subsets do not express CD27. The function of these cells is characterized by the memory present in acquired immunity.Once a memory cell, either a T cell or a B cell, has been exposed to a specific pathogen, it will react much more rapidly when it encounters the same pathogen in the future.This is the reason that some diseases can normally only be caught once by a person. Upon infection with a pathogen, many B cells will differentiate into the plasma cells, also called effector B cells, which produce a first wave of protective antibodies and help clear infection. Plasma cells (PC) represent an essential arm in humoral immunity as the main line of defense against infection and re-infection. Fig. In adults, t … B cells leave the germinal centre response as high-affinity plasma cells and memory B cells (Figure 3). Moreover, fate mapping of GC emigrants in mice expressing cre recombinase under control of the promoter for the AID gene has revealed differences in the localization and differentiation behavior of IgM+ and IgG+ memory B cells. IgG: Memory B cells that express IgG typically differentiate into plasma cells. Of note also is that the B memory cells (BMCs) that have been studied to date have not been examined for the presence of gut-homing markers such as α4β7. The effectiveness of the immune response will thus be further improved. [11][3] An additional hypothesis states that the B cells with relatively lower affinity for antigen will become memory B cells, in contrast to B cells with relatively higher affinity that will become plasma cells. In humans, hypermutation is a mechanism that occurs during a narrow window of B-cell development in the GC. When this method was used in hospitalized cholera patients, both IgA and IgG MBCs against V. cholerae antigens were detectable by Day 30 after infection [80]. Nils Lycke, in Mucosal Vaccines (Second Edition), 2020. [3] Differentiation of memory B cells into plasma cells is far faster than differentiation by naïve B cells, which allows memory B cells to produce a more efficient secondary immune response. A fraction of the B cells with BCRs cognate to the antigen differentiate into memory B cells that survive long-term in the body. In addition to the spleen and lymph nodes, memory B cells are found in the bone marrow, Peyers' patches, gingiva, mucosal epithelium of tonsils, the lamina propria of the gastro-intestinal tract, and in the circulation (67, 71 – 76). [2][3] Memory B cells have B cell receptors (BCRs) on their cell membrane, identical to the one on their parent cell, that allow them to recognize antigen and mount a specific antibody response. Germinal centre-independent memory B cells are generated from CD38 + GL7 + activated B cells. The process of differentiation into memory B cells within the germinal center is not yet fully understood. The pattern of cell surface antigen expression suggested that these cells are marginal-zone B cells. Accordingly, depletion of memory B cells (Table 1) by injection of CD20-specific antibodies has no significant effect on preexisting antibody titers (DiLillo et al., 2008). [11][15][4], T-independent memory B cells are a subset called B1 cells. In Primer to the Immune Response (Second Edition), 2014. Memory B-cells are able to persist in the body, maintaining memory for a given antigen for decades; they are most abundant in the spleen, making up 45% of the total B-cell population in this organ, but they also recirculate in the blood (Hauser and Höpken, 2015). Most memory B cells are formed in germinal centers (GCs) located in the organized immune inductive sites, such as the Peyer’s patches (PPs) in the small intestine. In humans, B cells expressing the memory marker CD27+ can be found in the marginal zone [136] whereas a population of B cells in the blood also stains positive for CD27 [137]. The recirculating pool of mature T cells is formed during young life through gradual release of naive T cells from the thymus. Most memory B cells are formed in germinal centers (GCs) located in the organized immune inductive sites, such as the Peyer’s patches (PPs) in the small intestine. Fifthly, the progeny of activated memory B cells differentiate into second generation plasma cells that produce antibodies that are already of greater affinity and diversified isotype. In human tonsils, they are mainly associated with the mucosal crypt epithelium (Liu et al., 1995). Lin, in Advances in Immunology, 2016. (B) In a second experiment, the DNA of memory T cells was labeled with the marker BrdU to measure how rapidly cells in different memory T-cell subpopulations divide and die. This allows for a rapid, coordinated, T-cell dependent response to rechallenge from a pathogen, a response that, by definition, occurs much more quickly than a primary response [87]. The Epstein–Barr virus (EBV), formally called Human gammaherpesvirus 4, is one of the nine known human herpesvirus types in the herpes family, and is one of the most common viruses in humans. In contrast, most IgG+ memory B cells differentiate into antibody-secreting cells after antigen recall. A Comparison of Primary and Secondary Antibody Responses. The evaluation of MBC in children receiving cholera vaccination remains to be reported, and comparisons between vaccinated children and adults may uncover the role that MBCs play in determining the duration of vaccine protection. Upon reactivation, mucosal memory B cells expand in secondary GCs and undergo strong affinity selection and isotype-switching to become IgA plasma cells that populate the lamina propria. The graph plots the change in serum antibody concentration after a first and then a second exposure to antigen X. For example, memory B cells are a type of white blood cell created in lymph nodes or spleens during an infection. In birds, B cells mature in the bursa of Fabricius, a lymphoid organ where they were first dis… CD80 combined with CD73 and program cell death 1 ligand 2 (PD-L2, also called CD273) were identified as markers for mouse memory B cells and are expressed at different levels among different subsets (Tomayko, Steinel, Anderson, & Shlomchik, 2010). Specific markers can be used to trace memory B cells in both humans and mice, and techniques to characterize these cells at the single-cell level are being investigated. These plasma cells are localized in the splenic red pulp [140,141]. By continuing you agree to the use of cookies. [3] The long-lasting survival is hypothesized to be a result of certain anti-apoptosis genes that are more highly expressed in memory B cells than other subsets of B cells. As the primary producers of circulating immunoglobulin (Ig), these cells provide vital durable and protective immunity against a multitude of pathogens. Longitudinal analysis of antigen-specific antibody titers from vaccinated humans demonstrates that the predicted half-life of the measles titer is 3,01… It is of interest in this context that human memory cells exhibit diversity in terms of the expression of adhesion molecules such that subsets of memory cells may be destined to settle in different parts of the body, such as IgA-producing cells in the GALT and nasal-associated lymphoid tissue (Rott et al., 2000; Shimoda et al., 2001) (Figure 16.1). [3] A signal transduced by the binding of the peptide to the B cell causes the cells to migrate to the edge of the follicle bordering the T cell area. [6][2] Plasma cells secrete antibodies specific for the pathogens but they cannot respond upon secondary exposure. After differentiation, memory B cells relocate to the periphery of the body where they will be more likely to encounter antigen in the event of a future exposure. Schematic view of traffic and location of memory B and memory plasma cells. Merlo, Laura Mandik-Nayak, in Cancer Immunotherapy (Second Edition), 2013. Based on the levels of CD80, CD73, and PD-L2, at least five phenotypic subsets of murine memory B cells can be defined, regardless of whether IgM or class-switched Ig is expressed (Tomayko et al., 2010). Memory cells, especially those with the most effective receptors, multiply extensively, but they do not secrete antibody. Although spleen and tonsil are the major reservoirs for antigen-specific human memory B cells, they appear to be dispensable for preserving immunological memory following a reencounter with antigen (Giesecke et al., 2014). This work will likely depend on the next generation of safe yet effective mucosal vaccine adjuvants. With the rapid development of new technologies, the future looks bright in terms of our ability to develop better and more efficacious vaccines with a strong memory B cell stimulating function. Exactly how our immune cells do their job of identifying and then recording these events – at least on a chemical level – is where the story gets vague. Between production in the bone marrow and maturation (not activation) in the lymphoid organs, a B cell is referred to as a transitional B cell. "This work addressed fundamental questions about the origin and longevity of human memory CD8+ T cells generated after an acute infection," says senior author and nutritionist Marc Hellerstein from UC Berkeley. However, it should be kept in mind that while there is some evidence for memory cell recirculation (Laichalk et al., 2002), its extent remains to be determined and memory cells may be rather sessile cells once they have reached their favored location and are not activated by antigen (Gowans and Uhr, 1966; Liu et al., 1988, 1991). FIGURE 16.1. Murine memory B lymphocytes express CD45R, while murine plasma cells do not. They stick around for years and … The establishment of a pool of long-lasting memory B cells by conjugated vaccines is the result of ‘‘help’’ from carrier-specific CD41 T cells, and is essential for the maintenance of protective serological memory. [7][8] Class switching allows memory B cells to secrete different types of antibodies in future immune responses. Finally, a large fraction of the B cells in the blood of adult humans are memory cells that are either on the way from their site of production or recirculating (Fig. The accompanying chart compares the indicated properties of primary and secondary immune responses. Adipocytes are the cells that produce fat, and in mice the adiposity of the BM is low compared to humans (10). [4][3], Memory B cells can survive for decades, which gives them the capacity to respond to multiple exposures to the same antigen. As the secondary response succeeds in clearing the antigen, the second generation plasma cells die off, leaving the second generation memory B cells to maintain peripheral surveillance. Memory B cells can survive for long periods and can induce faster and stronger humoral responses when they reencounter the same antigen (Pape, Taylor, Maul, Gearhart, & Jenkins, 2011), in contrast to plasma cells that provide the first line of protection against infection but do not respond to the second infection because of low expression of membrane-bound Ig (Manz, Lohning, Cassese, Thiel, & Radbruch, 1998). The injection of the antigen leads to an antibody response followed by the production of memory B cells. Evaluation of the MBC responses in children with longer follow-up is needed. T cells help the B cells and can also take on any viruses. [3] The memory B cells that do not differentiate into plasma cells at this point can reenter the germinal centers to undergo further class switching or somatic hypermutation for further affinity maturation. However, other memory B cells may leave the original lymph node and enter the blood, circulating among the body’s chain of lymph nodes and maintaining peripheral surveillance for the antigen. [7], Once inside the germinal center, the B cells undergo proliferation, followed by mutation of the genetic coding region of their BCR, a process known as somatic hypermutation. CD27 is a marker for human memory B cells (Klein, Rajewsky, & Kuppers, 1998). In immunology, a memory B cell (MBC) is a type of B lymphocyte that forms part of the adaptive immune system. In fact, IgG MBC responses to T-cell-dependent antigens CTB and TcpA (a major pilus colonization factor of V. cholerae) persisted for up to 1 year, longer than any other known marker of cholera immunity [80]. Furthermore, this process does not require the memory B cells to enter a GC reaction, thus resulting in the rapid production of high-affinity immunoglobulin ( Liu et al., 1988 ; 1991 ; Tangye and Hodgkin, 2004 ). It has been suggested that there might be two types of BM adipose tissue (12), constitutive and regulated, where the former arises … Taken together, several lines of evidence indicate that human memory B cells might mostly reside in the spleen, and some memory B cells recirculate in the blood. However, CD27 is not an appropriate marker for mouse memory B cells (Anderson, Tomayko, Ahuja, Haberman, & Shlomchik, 2007). One is dependent on the presence of B memory cells while the other is dependent on the presence of long-lived plasma cells. [16], T-bet B cells are a subset that have been found to express the transcription factor T-bet. Memory B cells have been identified in mice, rats, and humans by functional and molecular criteria in the marginal zone of the spleen, an area surrounding B cell follicles (Dunn-Walters et al., 1995; Liu et al., 1988). These memory B cells may maintain broad reactivity to the activating pathogen. This page was last edited on 22 March 2021, at 14:49. Positive selection then favors the survival of second generation memory B cell clones that display even greater affinity for the antigen. Claudia Berek, ... Harry W. Memory B cells develop after mucosal vaccination, but little is known about how and where these cells are induced and maintained for long periods of time. Y.-H. Yu, K.-I. [107] developed a practical ELISPOT-based method for determining MBCs in peripheral blood by stimulating MNCs in culture with a cocktail of B cell mitogens and then determining antigen-specific ASCs. The activated B cells that expressed the transcription factor Bcl-6 will enter B-cell follicles and undergo germinal center reactions. The differentiation to memory B cells is critically dependent on CD40 of the B cell and CD40L expressed by T cells and FDC.28 Inactivation of the CD40 or CD40L genes by targeted mutation in the murine germline or by accidental mutation in humans leads to a hyper-IgM syndrome and a general lack of B-cell memory (Chapter 34). [1] Their function is to memorize the characteristics of the antigen that activated their parent B cell during initial infection such that if the memory B cell later encounters the same antigen, it triggers an accelerated and robust secondary immune response. SchroederJr., in Clinical Immunology (Third Edition), 2008, Memory B cells are derived from naïve B cells activated by antigen and T-cell help in extrafollicular or GC reactions. 14). This may occur because B cells that express IgE more frequently differentiate into plasma cells rather than memory B cells. Protection, defined as the ability to produce a heightened response to a previously seen infection, has been identified in lower vertebrates, such as bony fish and amphibians [tables summarizing data for secondary responses in vertebrates can be found in (35–37)]. Claudia Berek, Rudi A. Manz, in Encyclopedia of Immunobiology, 2016. [3]The B cells then either differentiate into plasma cells, germinal center B cells, or memory B cells depending on the expressed transcription factors. Toward the end of each battle to stop an infection, some T-cells and B-cells turn into Memory T-cells and Memory B-cells. As the primary response terminates, memory B cells often take up residence in a body location where the antigen might next be expected to attack. B cell memory is generated upon a first pathogen encounter and is carried by two distinct lineages: long-lived plasma cells that secrete protective antibodies for a lifetime and memory B cells that can elicit improved and enhanced responses upon new antigen challenges. In a tertiary response, these second generation memory B cells may undergo additional somatic hypermutation and give rise to third generation plasma cells secreting antibodies with even higher affinities, better-suited effector functions, and/or more appropriate physiological localizations. Although, like plasma cells. The B cells that develop into memory B cells independently from germinal centers likely experience CD40 and cytokine signaling from T cells. For example, it was suggested that serum CXCL13 levels after vaccination could correlate to memory B cell differentiation.
