The Journal of Immunology B Cell Receptor-Mediated Internalization of Salmonella: A Novel Pathway for Autonomous B Cell Activation and Antibody Production1 Yuri Souwer,2*† Alexander Griekspoor,2† Tineke Jorritsma,* Jelle de Wit,* Hans Janssen,† Jacques Neefjes,3† and S. Marieke van Ham3* The present paradigm is that primary B cells are nonphagocytosing cells. In this study, we demonstrate that human primary B cells are able to internalize bacteria when the bacteria are recognized by the BCR. BCR-mediated internalization of Salmonella typhimurium results in B cell differentiation and secretion of anti-Salmonella Ab by the Salmonella-specific B cells. In addition, BCR-mediated internalization leads to efficient Ag delivery to the MHC class II Ag-loading compartments, even though Salmonella ,remains vital intracellularly in primary B cells. Consequently, BCR-mediated bacterial uptake induces efficient CD4؉ T cell help which boosts Salmonella-specific Ab production. BCR-mediated internalization of Salmonella by B cells is superior over extra- Downloaded from cellular Ag extraction to induce rapid and specific humoral immune responses and efficiently combat infection.
