A method for the isolation of autoreactive B cells.

R P Phipps, J Szakos, K Illig

    Journal of Immunological Methods
    |April 17, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    Researchers developed a new method to isolate autoreactive B cells using guanosine-coated gelatin. These cells secrete antibodies that bind to DNA, offering insights into autoimmune diseases.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Autoimmunity
    • Cell Biology

    Background:

    • Investigating autoreactive B cells is crucial for understanding autoimmune diseases.
    • Existing methods for isolating specific B cell populations are limited.
    • Autoreactive B cells play a key role in the development of autoimmune conditions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a novel technique for isolating autoreactive B cells.
    • To characterize the properties of isolated autoreactive B cells.
    • To investigate the DNA-binding capacity of antibodies produced by autoreactive B cells.

    Main Methods:

    • Modified Haas and Layton (1975) procedure to couple guanosine (GU) to gelatin.
    • Coated GU-gelatin onto tissue culture dishes for B cell isolation.
    • Assessed antibody specificity and DNA-binding activity using rosetting, plaque assays, and hapten inhibition.

    Main Results:

    • Successfully isolated guanosine-specific (GU+) B cells from mice.
    • Isolated GU+ B cells secreted anti-GU antibodies that bound to both native and denatured DNA.
    • Demonstrated DNA-binding ability of secreted antibodies via plaque formation with DNA-coated erythrocytes.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed technique enables isolation of antigen-triggerable autoreactive B cells.
    • This method facilitates the study of B cell growth, triggering, and tolerance defects in autoimmunity.
    • Allows for direct comparison of autoreactive and nonautoreactive B cells in controlled experimental systems.
