The regulation of gut mucosal IgA B-cell responses: recent developments

Abstract: The majority of activated B cells differentiate into IgA plasma cells, with the gut being the largest producer of immunoglobulin in the body. Secretory IgA antibodies have numerous critical functions of which protection against infections and the role for establishing a healthy microbiota appear most important. Expanding our knowledge of the regulation of IgA B-cell responses and how effective mucosal vaccines can be designed are of critical importance. Here we discuss recent developments in the field that she… Show more

“…A large fraction of IgE is bound to FcεRI, a high-affinity receptor abundant on mast cells and basophils; engagement of IgE by cognate antigen activates FcεRI and promotes degranulation of these cells leading to the rapid release of inflammatory mediators in immediate-type hypersensitivity (Kinet, 1999). IgA and IgM binding to the polymeric Ig receptor on epithelial cells is critical for the delivery of these isotypes to lumenal secretions (Lycke and Bemark, 2017). IgA also exerts effector functions through FcaRI, which is expressed in humans but not in mice (Aleyd et al, 2015).…”

“…Generating protective antibody responses in the gut is dependent on affinity matured and long lasting memory B cells in germinal centers of intestinal Peyer's Patches [87]. To this end, DCs, T and B cells in gastrointestinal associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) must be exposed to viral antigens to promote antigen presentation and antibody production ( Figure 1 [88]).…”

“…When antigen penetrates through the nasal mucosa, the mucosal immune response is induced by the interaction with APCs in nasal-associated lymphoid tissue (NALT), a representative organized lymphoid tissue of the mucosal immune system, forming a germinal center in the NALT. Clonal expansion of antigen-induced IgA+ B cells is induced to produce antigen-specific IgA [33][34][35]. This procedure may explain the induction of IgA in the groups with intranasal administration, where antigens are exposed to mucous membranes.…”
