Antibody modulation of antigen presentation: positive and negative effects on presentation of the tetanus toxin antigen via the murine B cell isoform of FcgammaRII
Antibody modulation of antigen presentation: positive and negative effects on presentation of the tetanus toxin antigen via the murine B cell isoform of FcgammaRII
Tetanus toxin has been a valuable model antigen to study the MHC class II-restricted antigen processing pathway and is also frequently used to provide T helper determinants in vaccine formulations. To date most basic studies on the processing of this antigen have utilized human T and B cell clones. As a first step towards extending studies on this antigen into the murine system we have generated a panel of T cell clones and mAb in H-2b and H-2d mice. We investigated the presentation of tetanus toxin C fragment (TTCF) by the murine B cell lines LB27.4 (H-2dxb), A20 (H-2d) and IIA1.6 (H-2d) and the extent to which this could be modulated by the addition of mAb. One mAb, 10G5, induced strikingly enhanced presentation of T cell determinants located in the N-terminal region of TTCF while other antibodies inhibited presentation of these and other epitopes. The enhancing effects of the 10G5 antibody were blocked by the anti-FcR antibody 2.4G2 and were not observed in the FcR-negative IIA1.6 cell line. Interestingly, both FcRIIB1 and FcRIIB2 isoforms of FcRII were able to restore antibody enhanced presentation in IIA1.6 cells but only if the cytoplasmic tails were intact. These results show that the B cell isoform of FcRII (FcRIIB1) can mediate capture and presentation of some antigen/antibody complexes and might play a role in BCR-independent antigen presentation in vivo.

Abstract
Tetanus toxin has been a valuable model antigen to study the MHC class II-restricted antigen processing pathway and is also frequently used to provide T helper determinants in vaccine formulations. To date most basic studies on the processing of this antigen have utilized human T and B cell clones. As a first step towards extending studies on this antigen into the murine system we have generated a panel of T cell clones and mAb in H-2b and H-2d mice. We investigated the presentation of tetanus toxin C fragment (TTCF) by the murine B cell lines LB27.4 (H-2dxb), A20 (H-2d) and IIA1.6 (H-2d) and the extent to which this could be modulated by the addition of mAb. One mAb, 10G5, induced strikingly enhanced presentation of T cell determinants located in the N-terminal region of TTCF while other antibodies inhibited presentation of these and other epitopes. The enhancing effects of the 10G5 antibody were blocked by the anti-FcR antibody 2.4G2 and were not observed in the FcR-negative IIA1.6 cell line. Interestingly, both FcRIIB1 and FcRIIB2 isoforms of FcRII were able to restore antibody enhanced presentation in IIA1.6 cells but only if the cytoplasmic tails were intact. These results show that the B cell isoform of FcRII (FcRIIB1) can mediate capture and presentation of some antigen/antibody complexes and might play a role in BCR-independent antigen presentation in vivo.
