Minimalistic In Vitro Culture to Drive Human Naive B Cell Differentiation into Antibody-Secreting Cells

Peter-Paul A. Unger et al.

Summary: Efficient differentiation of human naive B cells into antibody-secreting cells can be achieved by controlling the interaction between CD40 costimulation and Tfh cell-associated cytokines IL-21 and IL-4 in an in vitro culture system. Renewed CD40 costimulation in vitro can induce rapid terminal ASC differentiation after initial B-cell expansion, similar to the process in vivo.

Soluble FAS Ligand Enhances Suboptimal CD40L/IL-21-Mediated Human Memory B Cell Differentiation into Antibody-Secreting Cells

Saskia D. van Asten et al.

Summary: The study identified factors such as type I interferons and soluble FAS ligand that promote differentiation of memory B cells into plasmablast precursors, inducing robust secretion of IgG1 and IgG4 antibodies. This mechanistic connection between elevated levels of soluble FAS ligand and autoreactive antibodies provides a potential therapeutic target in autoimmunity. These modulators identified in the secretome screen are associated with systemic lupus erythematosus and may be relevant in other autoimmune diseases and allergies.
