- 肺内存B细胞 (肺-BRM) 通过分化为血细胞,在再次感染时提供增强的肺部保护.
- 了解推动肺-BRM差异化的因素是改善呼吸道免疫和疫苗策略的关键.
研究的目的:
- 调查调节流感感染后肺BRM分化的特定决定因素.
- 阐明T卵泡辅助细胞 (Tfh) 及其分泌因子在这种分化过程中的作用.
主要方法:
- 流感感染后B细胞反应的动态分析.
- 研究对T卵泡辅助细胞 (Tfh) 和干扰素-玛 (IFN-γ) 对于B细胞分化的需求.
- 使用Tfh细胞特定的IFN-γ耗尽模型.
- 分析像T-bet这样的转录因子在生殖中心 (GC) B细胞中的表达.
- 追踪CXCR3+ B细胞子集的发展,作为肺-BRM的前体.
主要成果:
- 流感核蛋白 (NP) 特定的B细胞早期分化并需要Tfh细胞的帮助.
- 从Tfh细胞衍生的干扰素- (IFN-γ) 生产暂时与B细胞分化一致.
- 在Tfh细胞中IFN-γ的耗尽取消了肺-BRM分化和对二次感染的保护受损.
