B lymphocyte-mediate recognition of antigens and
the immune response
1. B cell-mediate immune response to T-dependent
antigen
2. B cell-mediate immune response to T-independent
antigen
3. The general rule of humoral immune response
Humoral immunity:
A immune response mediated by B lymphocyte-secreted
antibodies. Its funtion is to neutralize and eliminate the antigens
which induced the antibodies.
B cell-mediate recognition to antigens
B cell-mediate recognition to TI antigens
TI-antigen: T-independent antigen
This type of antigen can activate B cells without the T cell help,
and most of them are bacterial polysaccharides and lipopolysaccharide.
1. TI-1 aitigen
2. TI-2 antigen
TI-1 antigen: also named B cell mitogen
1. Contains B cell mitogen and repeated B epitopes
2. Can induce immature and mature B cell-mediate immune response
3. In high concentrations, can induce polyclonal B-cell activation
4. In lower concentrations, only the BCR-binding TI-1 antigens can
activate B cells
5. Not able to induce Ig class switch, antibody affinity maturation and
memory B cells
TI-1 antigen in high concentrations
polyclonal B-cell activation
non-specific antibody response
TI-1 antigen in lower concentrations
Specific antibody response to TI-1 antigen
B-cell mediate recognition
and immune response to TI-1
antigens
TI-2 antigen
A. Only contains multitude repeated B-cell epitopes
B. Merely induces mature B cell-mediated immune response
C. Unresponses or hyporesponsive to infantile B cells
D. Activates the B-1 cells
TI-2 antigen alone activates B cells to
secrete antibodies

antigens
Plasma cell
• TI antigen mainly activates CD45+ B1 cells
• The produced antibodies are mainly IgM
• No MHC-restriction, without APC and Th cell help
• Can not induce antibody class switch, affinity maturation
and memory B cells
(二)B cell-mediate recognition to TD antigens
1. BCR binds to antigen specifically and transfer the antigen
stimulatory signal into B cells
2. BCR specific binding to the antigen and intake it through
internalization, then the antigen was degradated into
peptides and the peptide-MHC-II molecule complex was
formed, which can be recognized by antigen specific Th
cells

二. Activation of B Cells
1)The specific antigenic recognition signal of B cell
activation (first signal)
B cell coreceptor complex
The first signal of B cell activation
2)Costimulatory signal of B cell activation (second
signal)
With the help of T cells
1.The activation of naïve Th cell
2. The combination of Th cell and specific B cell
TCR presented on Th cells specifically recognizes and binds
antigenic peptide-MHC-II complex displayed on B cell surface
The interaction of many adhesion molecular pairs makes the
binding tighter.
☆Direct contact
T cells express CD40L,LFA-1,CD28 , et al.
CD40/CD40L,ICAM-1/LFA-1,B7/CD28
The most important molecule is CD40L(CD154)

3. The activation of specific B cells
Th cells can be induced to express many membranous
molecules, for instance CD40L
The dark zone formation of the germinal center in lymph
follicles
The clonal proliferation of B cells
B cells are differentiated to the cells in the germinal center
The formation of memory B cells
The function of cytokines
IL-2, IFN- secreted by Th1 cells
IL-4、IL-5、IL-6 secreted by Th2 cells

mantle zone formation
B cell activation and GC formation
(1) receptor editing
Further immunoglobulin gene rearrangement in
seconary lymph organs---some potentially selfreactive B cells may be rescued.
Otherwise, self-reactive B cells undergo apoptosis
or anergy.
(2) somatic hypermutation and
affinity maturation
Ig+ B cells proliferate rapidly, and their already
rearranged receptor genes undergo further
diversification.
Some further diversifided Ig+ B cells acquir
more affinitive BCR.
B cell maturation, migration
and GC formation
B cell proliferation
