Summary

In vitro analysis of class switch recombination in mice is challenging due to cytophilic IgE molecules bound to Fc receptors on the surface of B cells. We describe a method for IgE detection using trypsin-mediated cleavage of surface-bound IgE prior to fixation and permeabilization for cytoplasmic fluorescence staining.

Abstract

B淋巴细胞免疫球蛋白重链(IgH基因)类别转换重组(CSR)是一种方法,其中最初表达IgM的切换到其他的IgH同种型,如IgA,IgE和IgG抗体。的IgH CSR的体外测定是用于若干生物过程包括从DNA重组和修复的分子和细胞免疫学方面的研究的重要方法, 在体外的CSR测定涉及在活化的B细胞的流式细胞仪测量表面Ig的表达。而IgA和IgG亚类的测量是简单的,IgE介导的通过该方法测定是有问题的,由于可溶性IgE结合到FcεRII/ CD23表达活化的B细胞的表面上。在这里,我们描述的产生IgE的,在文化都发生了CSR小鼠B细胞精确测量一个独特的程序。该方法是基于对在细胞表面的IgE CD23复合物的胰蛋白酶介导的裂解,允许检测由CY产生IgE的B谱系细胞toplasmic染色。这个程序提供了企业社会责任的流式细胞仪分析,IgE的一个方便的解决方案。

Introduction

在免疫球蛋白重链(IGH)类开关重组(CSR)的小鼠和人类, 室内运动场μ恒定区外显子(Cμ)被删除并通过几套下游恒定区外显子的一个(C H S)( 更换Cγ, Cε和Cα),导致从生产的IgM的一个开关来产生其它的Ig类( 例如 IgG抗体,IgE或IgA的)的。 CSR发生内开关(S)的区域,这是位于5'至每一组C H S 1 1-10 kb的序列。激活诱导胞嘧啶核苷脱氨酶(AID)酶通过胞苷脱氨活动启动CSR。

IgE的是过敏性疾病2的关键调解人和IgE水平是如何产生和调控可能会打开大门,新的治疗方法,以过敏性疾病的认识。在小鼠和人类,IgE的是最严格的监管免疫球蛋白同型。是的IgE的水平数千恬正常检测ES小于其他的IgH同种型3,但可以高度升高的疾病状态4。然而,CSR至IgE的是不完全的了解。利用体外激活的B细胞的IL-4与两种抗CD40和LPS结合,诱导的CSR既IgG1和IgE的5。活化的B细胞表达低亲和性IgE受体FcεRII/ CD23 2,6,其结合可溶性IgE的分泌在培养后的CSR。因此,当用流式细胞仪分析,B细胞与受体结合的IgE染色类似于B细胞内源性表达的IgE 7。同时,已知小鼠的B细胞表达低亲和力的IgG受体FcγRIIB1(CD32)8,根据我们的经验它不会出现干扰类别转换为IgG1的测定。然而,B细胞活化培养后测量的IgE切换时,非特异性表面结合的IgE可能掩盖了分析。与普通的染色方法,非IgE表达细胞染色阳性的IgE。

这里所概述的是,已被利用来从小鼠9进行的CSR测定法和检测真正的IgE表达的B细胞的策略– 11。激活B细胞与胰蛋白酶治疗,常见的实验室试剂消化蛋白质,同时删除cytophylic和膜结合表面的IgE。随后的通透和染色质的IgE从而揭示了真正的产生IgE的细胞。

Representative Results

这个程序已经成功实施,研究企业社会责任,以IgE的小鼠B细胞。为了证明的效率的测量的CSR,我们刺激的小鼠脾B细胞与抗CD40和IL-4如先前所描述的11。刺激后五天,收集细胞并用上述与荧光标记的IgM,的IgG1,IgE和B220(CD45R)抗体染色的协议处理。门控的爆破淋巴细胞( 图1),的IgE +细胞的明确的人口不能干净地鉴别未经胰蛋白酶处理( 图2a)。然而,之前的固?…

Discussion

小鼠脾B细胞在培养用抗CD40和IL-4的刺激将模拟T辅助2型(T H 2)的相互作用,激励类别转换为IgG1和IgE 5。 B细胞可用于CSR在总脾细胞12或作为纯化的脾B细胞11的情况下被激活。在协议中(步骤2.3)所指出的,B细胞富集是可选的,并且是在实验者的判断,以确定它是否将是有益的。使用CD45R(B220)B细胞的正磁分离标记的珠子在这里使用。分离后,建议通过FACS来检查细…
