Origin of IgA-secreting plasma cells in the mammary gland.

Abstract: Lymphoblasts from the mesenteric lymph nodes (MN) of mice home to the mammary glands of syngeneic recipients late in pregnancy and during lactation, and within hours of transfer most can be shown to contain IgA. Homing does not occur in virgins, in early pregnancy, or after weaning. Homing MN lymphoblasts are sensitive to antiserum to IgA plus complement, but not to other class-specific antisera. Thus, lymphoblasts in MN with the potential to home to the mammary gland are already committed to IgA synthesis and… Show more

“…The affinity of lymphoblasts to secretory tissue such as mammary and salivary glands has been reported in earlier studies (39,40). The detection of radioactivity in lactating mammary glands after transfer of radiolabeled rat T cells into naive animals led to the conclusion that T cells play a role in maternal-to-neonatal transfer of immunity (41).…”

“…After the beginning of lactation the bulk of women Abz activities belong to milk IgGs and especially to sIgAs, while the specific activities of the serum Abzs are significantly lower [2][3][4][5]18,24]. sIgA is selectively produced by plasma cells residing in the interstitial tissue underlying the epithelial surfaces of the lactating breast [34]. These lymphoid cells migrate to the breast from the maternal intestinal lymphoid tissues (Peyer's patches) and from lymphoid centers in the bronchial tree [34,35].…”

“…C'est le cas des cellules à IgA et IgM. De manière spécifique, dans les conditions naturelles, la stimulation dans le GALT des plasmocytes à IgA par des antigènes induit leur migration vers la glande mammaire où ils sécrètent des IgA du colostrum et du lait (Roux et al, 1977). Chez la truie, ces plasmocytes à IgA activés atteignent la glande mammaire grâce aux adressines et chimiokines et c'est l'absence de ces adressines dans la glande mammaire des ruminants qui explique l'absence des plasmocytes à IgA (Levast, 2010 ;Salmon, 2011).…”
