Trade-offs in antibody repertoires to complex antigens

Abstract: Pathogens vary in their antigenic complexity. While some pathogens such as measles present a few relatively invariant targets to the immune system, others such as malaria display considerable antigenic diversity. How the immune response copes in the presence of multiple antigens, and whether a trade-off exists between the breadth and efficacy of antibody (Ab)-mediated immune responses, are unsolved problems. We present a theoretical model of affinity maturation of B-cell receptors (BCRs) during a primary infec… Show more

“…Strong competition between B cells for both antigen and T cell help inside germinal centres discards many mutations and promotes the growth of highaffinity cells. In this issue, Childs et al [119] show that parallel evolution in multiple germinal centres promotes adaptation to multiple epitopes. More complex antigens can compromise this response.…”

“…More complex antigens can compromise this response. In addition to providing a null model for immunodominance, Childs et al [119] show that competition between antibodies and B cells inside germinal centres attenuates the bias in epitope targeting and increases the breadth of the repertoire. This model thus suggests that the immune system may have evolved to optimize a trade-off between mounting an effective response to any one epitope versus many, a trade-off that may be exploitable by pathogens.…”

“…Часть дифференцируется в антителопро-дуцирующие короткоживущие (в течение несколь-ких недель) плазматические клетки (КПК), секре-тирующие главным образом антитела IgM-класса с относительно невысокой степенью аффинности [12,19,25,26]. Часть клеток трансформируется в В-клетки памяти (ВкП), экспрессирующие преиму-щественно IgM ВкР [16,19,27].…”

“…Часть клеток трансформируется в В-клетки памяти (ВкП), экспрессирующие преиму-щественно IgM ВкР [16,19,27]. Оставшиеся активи-рованные В-клетки направляются обратно в фолли-кулы, формируя олигоклональные герминативные центры (ГЦ), в которых происходит созревание аффинности ВкР, переключение класса Ig, клональ-ная экспансия и окончательная дифференцировка либо в высокоаффинные долгоживущие плазма-тические клетки (ДПК), либо в В-клетки памяти с преимущественно IgG ВкР [19,26,[28][29][30][31][32]. Таким образом, при первичном ответе уже к 3-му дню после аллогенной трансплантации иммунная сис-тема реципиента способна вырабатывать IgM-анти-тела, направленные к несовпадающим донорским HLA-антигенам [33,34].…”
