CD86 Regulates IgG₁ Production via a CD19-Dependent Mechanism¹

Department of Molecular Virology, Immunology, and Medical Genetics, The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH 43210

CD86 signals directly in a B cell to activate PI3K and increase the rate of IgG₁ production, without affecting germline transcription. However, the mechanism by which CD86 activates PI3K in a B cell and the relevance of CD86 stimulation in vivo remains unknown. We show that the addition of CD28/Ig to CD40 ligand/IL-4-activated wild-type, but not CD86- or CD19-deficient, B cells increased the level of phosphorylation for Lyn and CD19, as well as the amount of Lyn, Vav, and PI3K that immunoprecipitated with CD19. Adoptive transfer of CD86-deficient B cells and wild-type CD4⁺ T cells into RAG2-deficient mice and immunization with trinitrophenylated keyhole limpet hemocyanin resulted in an IL-4 and germline IgG₁ response equivalent to control mice, but a decrease in serum IgG₁. Thus, our findings suggest that CD86 plays a key role in regulating the level of IgG₁ produced in vitro and in vivo, and that Lyn and CD19 may be the signaling intermediates activated by CD86 proximal to PI3K.
