B Cell Maintenance of Subcapsular Sinus Macrophages Protects against a Fatal Viral Infection Independent of Adaptive Immunity

Abstract: SUMMARY Neutralizing antibodies have been thought to be required for protection against acutely cytopathic viruses, such as the neurotropic vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV). Utilizing mice that possess B cells but lack antibodies, we show here that survival upon subcutaneous (s.c.) VSV challenge was independent of neutralizing antibody production or cell-mediated adaptive immunity. However, B cells were absolutely required to provide lymphotoxin (LT) α1β2, which maintained a protective subcapsular sinus (SCS) … Show more

“…Indeed B-cell tropism requires passage through a myeloid cell . However Bcells influence myeloid function (You et al, 2011;Moseman et al, 2012); B-cell-derived IgM promotes early antigen capture (Heyman, 2014), and B-cells transport antigens from myeloid cells into LN and splenic follicles (Phan et al, 2007;Cinamon et al, 2008). Therefore, B-cell deficiency could compromise MuHV-4 spread indirectly by compromising myeloid infection.…”

“…Moreover, it has been shown that lymphotoxins are derived from B cells, which are important for maintenance of CD169 ϩ cells (29,39). Consistently, BAFFR-deficient animals exhibited lower lymphotoxin alpha (Lt␣) and lymphotoxin beta (Lt␤) expression levels than their corresponding controls (Fig.…”

“…Lymphotoxin signaling is critical for CD169 ϩ cell development in spleen and lymph node tissues (32,38,39,41). Moreover, it has been shown that lymphotoxins are derived from B cells, which are important for maintenance of CD169 ϩ cells (29,39).…”

“…recently, it has been shown that B cells are important for proper innate antiviral responses by controlling macrophage maintenance and production of type I IFns upon vsv infection [49]. also, B cells seem to play a pivotal role during innate responses to systemic infections.…”

“…also, B cells seem to play a pivotal role during innate responses to systemic infections. Kelly-scumpia et al [49,50] have demonstrated that during bacterial sepsis, type-I-IFn-mediated activation of marginal zone and follicular B cells contributed to early chemokine production and to improved survival rates. thus, these two studies have identified a novel protective role for type I IFn and B cells during early immune responses to viral and systemic infections.…”
