Do B cells express CD86?

We found that memory B cells display increased CD86 expression compared to naïve cells, which has also previously been demonstrated [8]. Furthermore we found that switched memory cells (SM) displayed higher levels of CD86 compared to non-switched memory cells (NSM) and double negative memory cells (DNM).

How are immature B cells activated?

B cell development begins in the fetal liver and continues in the bone marrow throughout our lives. The mature B cell that moves into the periphery can be activated by antigen and become an antibody-secreting plasma cell or a memory B cell which will respond more quickly to a second exposure to antigen.

How B cells are activated?

B cells are activated when their B cell receptor (BCR) binds to either soluble or membrane bound antigen. Once activated B cells may undergo class switch recombination. In their inactivated state B cells express IgM/IgD but once activated they may express IgA, IgE, IgG or retain IgM expression.

What are CD103+ cells?

CD103, also known as integrin αEβ7 (ITGAE), is a transmembrane heterodimer complex that is involved in cell to cell or cell to matrix interaction1. The immune cells that express CD103 includes effector memory CD8+ T cells, regulatory CD8+ T cells (Tregs), and CD11c-high/MHC class II-high dendritic cells6,7,8,9.

What is Ly6C marker?

Ly6C is a marker of macrophage subsets and support a model of selective recruitment of Ly6C(high) bone marrow monocytes to the kidney that differentiate into three populations of kidney macrophages, including a profibrotic Ly6C(low) population.

How are CD86 and CD80 expressed in B cells?

It is well known that naïve resting B cells express low levels of CD86, whereas CD80 expression in these cells is either absent or is present at very low levels [ 16 ]. Upregulation of CD86 expression on B cells can be obtained by triggering the B‐cell receptor (BCR) [ 10 ].

Where does the activation marker CD86 take place?

The basic expression of CD86 is different on various B cell subtypes, and has been studied in humans using different cell origins, e.g. splenic, tonsillar and peripheral blood B cells.

How are CD80 and CD86 expressed in APCs?

CD80 (B7-1) and CD86 (B7-2) are expressed as cell surface molecules by APCs and are responsible for delivering additional or second signals to T cells when they interact with their ligands CD28 and CD152 (CTLA-4). CD28 is expressed constitutively by T cells, while CD152 is only expressed later in the activation response.

What does a combination of CD86 and BTLA mean?

A combination of the activation marker CD86 and the immune checkpoint marker B and T lymphocyte attenuator (BTLA) indicates a putative permissive activation state of B cell subtypes in healthy blood donors independent of age and sex
