The novel IgD binding protein from Moraxella catarrhalis induces human B lymphocyte activation and Ig secretion in the presence of Th2 cytokines.

Summary, in English

Moraxella IgD binding protein (MID) is a novel bacterial outer membrane protein with IgD-binding properties. MID was purified from the respiratory pathogen Moraxella catarrhalis and is here shown to have B cell stimulatory properties. Purified MID in the range of 0.01-0.1 microg/ml was optimal to induce a proliferative response in human PBL. MID coupled to Sepharose and formalin-fixed M. catarrhalis preparations induced similar proliferative responses in PBL cultures. MID or MID-Sepharose stimulated purified human peripheral B cells as measured by proliferation. In contrast, MID or MID-Sepharose did not activate T cells. Preincubation of purified B cells with anti-IgD Abs inhibited MID-Sepharose-induced B cell proliferation. The addition of IL-4 specifically induced IL-6 production in MID-Sepharose-activated B cells. IgM secretion was detected in B cell cultures stimulated with MID or MID-Sepharose and IL-2 for 10 days. Secretion of IgG and IgA was efficiently induced in cultures from purified B cells stimulated with the combination of MID or MID-Sepharose and IL-4, IL-10, and soluble CD40 ligand, suggesting that Th2-derived cytokines were required for optimal plasma cell generation. Taken together, MID has properties that make it an important tool to study IgD-targeted activation of B cells.
