Bachmann,‡ and John F. Kearney2*† Of a number of mAbs made by immunization with sort-purified marginal zone (MZ) B cells, one was shown to recognize the mouse scavenger receptor CD36. Although CD36 is expressed by most resting MZ B cells and not by follicular and B1 B cells, it is rapidly induced on follicular B cells in vitro following TLR and CD40 stimulation. In response to T-independent and T-dependent Ag .challenge, we found that CD36 was expressed on IgM؉ plasma cells, but down-regulated on isotype-switched plasma cells in vivo Although development, localization, and phenotype of MZ B cells in CD36؊/؊ mice appeared normal, there was a minor block in the transitional stages of mature B cell development. In both primary and secondary Ab responses to heat-killed Streptococcus pneumoniae (R36A strain), both phosphoryl choline (PC)-specific IgM and IgG levels in CD36؊/؊ mice were slightly reduced compared with wild-type mice. In addition, mice deficient in both TLR2 and CD36 produced significantly reduced levels of anti-PC Downloaded from IgG titers than those of single gene-deficient mice, suggesting that they may cooperate in an anti-PC Ab response. Collectively, these results show that CD36 does not affect the development of B cells, but modulates both primary and secondary anti-PC Ab responses during S. pneumoniae infection similarly to TLR2. The Journal of Immunology, 2008, 180: 230–237. ature B cells in mammals are divided into three major loids (17, 21–27). A role for CD36 has also been suggested in the 3 B cell subsets, marginal zone (MZ), follicular (FO), pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease and atherosclerosis (18, 25, http://www.jimmunol.org/ M and B1 B cells, depending on surface phenotypes, lo- 28–30). Recent studies showed that CD36 enhances TLR2 signal- cation, and immunological functions (1–4). Although MZ and B1 ing to induce cytokine secretion by macrophages, although the B cells represent subpopulations of naive mature B cells, they play exact mechanism was not established (31, 32). an important role in early innate-like and primary Ab responses (1, Because CD36 is expressed uniquely on freshly isolated mature 2, 5). In particular, they respond quickly to T-independent (TI) MZ B cells and is induced to high levels on other mature B cell Ags, resulting in a rapid production of large numbers of short-lived subsets after stimulation in vitro, we investigated the role of CD36 plasma cells (6, 7). with respect to B cell development and function and examined a Previously, our laboratory identified two surface markers, CD9 possible cooperation between CD36 and TLR2 in Ab responses. and FCRL5 (Fc receptor-like 5), which help distinguish MZ B and by guest on September 25, 2021 B1 cells from FO B cells in mice (8, 9).
