Infection-Induced Marginal Zone B Cell Production of Borrelia hermsii-Specific Antibody Is Impaired in the Absence of CD1d 1

Ab that arise in the absence of T cell help are a critical host defense against infection with the spirochetes Borrelia burgdorferi and Borrelia hermsii. We have previously shown that CD1d-deficient (CD1d–/–) mice have impaired resistance to infection with B. burgdorferi. In mice, CD1d expression is highest on marginal zone B (MZB) cells, which produce Ab to blood-borne Ag. In this study we examined MZB cell activation and Ab production in mice infected with B. hermsii, which achieve high levels of bacteremia. We show by flow cytometry that MZB cells associate with B. hermsii and up-regulate the activation markers syndecan I and B7.1 within 16 h of infection. By 24 h, MZB cells secrete B. hermsii-specific IgM, coinciding with the loss of activation marker expression and the reduction in spirochete burden. In contrast, MZB cells from CD1d–/– mice remain activated for at least 96 h of infection, but produce only minimal B. hermsii-specific IgM in vivo and ex vivo; pathogen burden in the blood also remains elevated. Wild-type mice depleted of MZB cells using mAb to LFA-1 and {alpha}4{beta}1 integrin have reduced serum levels of B. hermsii-specific IgM and increased pathogen burden, similar to B. hermsii-infected CD1d–/– mice. Passive transfer of immune mouse serum, but not naive mouse serum, into infected CD1d–/– mice leads to down-regulation of activation markers and clearance of B. hermsii from the MZB cells. These results demonstrate that blood-borne spirochetes activate MZB cells to produce pathogen-specific IgM and reveal a role for CD1d in this process.
