This study describes the first in vitro nonhuman primate model of B cell activation and proliferation using both naive and allosensitized samples. This model provides an opportunity for exploring B cell mechanisms and developing novel therapeutics, and is a preliminary step in the development of an in vitro germinal center model.
Background: Given the role of B cells in sensitization and antibody-mediated rejection pathogenesis, the ability to identify, isolate, and study B cells in vitro is critical for understanding these processes and developing novel therapeutics. While in vivo nonhuman primate models have been used to this end, an in vitro nonhuman primate model of B cell activation and proliferation has not been developed. Methods: CD20+ B cells and CD3+ T cells were isolated using magnetic bead separation from the peripheral blood of naive and skin allograft sensitized nonhuman primates. Allogeneic B and T cells were co-cultured in plates precoated with murine stromal cells engineered to express human CD40L and stimulated with cytokines. Cells and supernatants were harvested every 2 days for immune phenotyping and donor specific antibody quantification by flow cytometry. Results: The optimized culture system consisted of MS40L cells co-cultured with B and allogenic T cells and stimulated with cytokines. This culture system resulted in increased memory cells and plasmablasts over time compared to other culture systems. Comparison of culture of naive and sensitized nonhuman primate samples revealed faster B cell exhaustion and marginally increased plasmablast differentiation in sensitized culture. Donor-specific antibody production was not observed in either culture group. Conclusions: This study describes the first in vitro nonhuman primate model of B cell activation and proliferation using both naive and allosensitized samples. This model provides an opportunity for exploration of B cell mechanisms and novel therapeutics and is a preliminary step in the development of an in vitro germinal center model.
