Human-derived natural antibodies: biomarkers and potential therapeutics

Abstract: The immune system generates antibodies and antigen-specific T-cells as basic elements of the immune networks that differentiate self from non-self in a finely tuned manner. The antigen-specific nature of immune responses ensures that normal immune activation contains non-self when tolerating self. Here we review the B-1 subset of lymphocytes which produce self-reactive antibodies. By analyzing the IgM class of natural antibodies that recognize antigens from the nervous system, we emphasize that natural antibod… Show more

“…The IPA titers in both populations ranged from undetectable levels to tens of thousands of units which as noted above is consistent with broad variations in transmitted founder virus IFN-α resistance55358. Possible IPA origins include exposure to unrelated viruses, sensitization to cross reacting antigens, auto-antibodies, low affinity polyreactive antibody and naturally occurring germ line IgG59606162. Regardless of its origins, IPA offers a potential explanation for the means by which IFN-α can provide a barrier to primary HIV infection78963.…”

“…Natural IgM responses are produced by B1 cells, either B1a or B1b cells, and/or marginal zone B cells (Rothstein et al 2013). B1 cells are a source of IL-10 producing regulatory B cells and play a key role in innate immune responses by producing natural IgM which may suppress inflammation, autoimmune responses, and oxidative stress toxicity, and are a first line defence against invading pathogens (Grönwall and Silverman 2014;Margry et al 2014;Xu et al 2015).…”

“…Natural Abs represent the first line of defense against pathogens; they are usually present in human serum as IgG3, IgM, and IgA and are generated in the absence of previous immune activation ( 44 , 45 ).…”

“…It has been established that, in human, B cells are able to proliferate and to secrete Abs after exposure to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from the Gram-negative bacteria membrane independent to the specific B-cell receptor (BCR) ( 48 ). Nevertheless, natural human Abs can also cross-react with microbial antigens, thus allowing host protection to pathogen independent of the previous microbial invasion ( 44 ).…”
