Title:The B-cell antigen receptor integrates adaptive and innate immune signals
Creators Name:Otipoby, K.L. and Waisman, A. and Derudder, E. and Srinivasan, L. and Franklin, A. and Rajewsky, K.
Abstract:B cells respond to antigens by engagement of their B-cell antigen receptor (BCR) and of coreceptors through which signals from helper T cells or pathogen-associated molecular patterns are delivered. We show that the proliferative response of B cells to the latter stimuli is controlled by BCR-dependent activation of phosphoinositidyl 3-kinase (PI-3K) signaling. Glycogen synthase kinase 3{beta} and Foxo1 are two PI-3K-regulated targets that play important roles, but to different extents, depending on the specific mitogen. These results suggest a model for integrating signals from the innate and the adaptive immune systems in the control of the B-cell immune response.
