Activation of the complement cascade and ligation of complement C3 receptors on B cells represent an important bridge between innate and Ag-specific acquired immunity. We show here that cross-linking of mouse CD21 (complement receptor type 2, CR2, C3d receptor) and CD35 (complement receptor type 1, CR1, C3b/C4b receptor) or co-cross-linking of CD21/CD35 and surface IgM rapidly up-regulates both B7-1 and B7-2 expression on murine resting splenic B cells. CD21/CD35-mediated up-regulation of both B7-1 and B7-2 expression is observed within 14 h, while other stimuli up-regulate only B7-2 but not B7-1 at this early time point. Consistent with the increase in B7 levels, BALB/c B cells on which surface IgM and CD21/CD35 have been co-cross-linked stimulate C57BL/6 T cells more effectively than controls. This CD21/CD35-enhanced allogeneic MLR is blocked nearly completely by anti-B7-2 mAbs and partially by anti-B7-1 mAbs. In addition, cross-linking of CD19, which is physically associated with CD21/CD35, leads to increased B7-1 and B7-2 expression. These data suggest that CD21/CD35 ligation results in enhanced B cell Ag presentation using costimulatory mechanisms shared with other activators and thus works cooperatively in this process. Rapid up-regulation of B7-1 expression, a unique response to CD21/CD35 and CD19 cross-linking, may be a particularly important effect of C3-containing ligands. We propose that CD21/CD35- and CD19-mediated B7-1 and B7-2 up-regulation is an important mechanism by which complement activation links innate and acquired immunity.
