A Beneficial Role for Immunoglobulin E in Host Defense against Honeybee Venom

Abstract: Summary Allergies are widely considered to be misdirected type 2 immune responses, in which IgE antibodies are produced against any of a broad range of seemingly harmless antigens. However, components of insect venoms also can sensitize individuals to develop severe IgE-associated allergic reactions, including fatal anaphylaxis, upon subsequent venom exposure. We found that mice injected with amounts of honeybee venom similar to that which could be delivered in one or two stings developed a specific type 2 imm… Show more

“…As it stands, mast cells are likely to play important evolutionarily conserved roles in immunity beyond their notorious role in allergic diseases. While beneficial mast cell roles have emerged in venom degradation (55,56) and in IgE-mediated protection from lethal doses of venom (57,58), the possible involvement of mast cells in the regulation of innate and adaptive immune responses and their roles as effector cells remain enigmatic.…”

“…part que, chez l'homme, l'obésité est associée à une moindre abondance de certaines bactéries dont A. muciniphila [9], d'autre part que les sujets pré-diabétiques et diabétiques de type 2 hébergent une quantité moindre d'A. muciniphila dans l'intestin [10].…”

“…Nous avons dès lors voulu évaluer la contribution exacte des IgE à cet effet. En analysant l'effet de transferts de sérum de souris immunisées, nous avons montré que les sérums contenant des IgE spécifiques du venin transfé-raient la protection à des souris naïves, contrairement aux sérums dont on avait éliminé les IgE ( Figure 2B) [9]. Des expériences d'immunisation active (injection d'une faible dose de venin induisant une réponse T H 2) réalisées chez des souris génétiquement défi-cientes en IgE ou en FcRI indiquent que celles-ci ne sont plus protégées lorsque le module IgE/FcRI est absent (Figure 2A).…”
