A chimeric macaque/human (PRIMATIZED) anti-CD23 antibody, p6G5G1, demonstrated a strong inhibitory effect on IL-4 and anti-CD40 antibody-stimulated IgE production by human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). RNA analysis by both reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Northern blot showed that p6G5G1 inhibited germline Cepsilon RNA synthesis, but had no effect on CD23 mRNA levels. These data suggest that p6G5G1 may inhibit immunoglobulin class switching to IgE through the inhibition of germline Cepsilon RNA synthesis. Early addition of p6G5G1 after stimulation by IL-4 and anti-CD40 was critical for IgE inhibition. In contrast, later addition of p6G5G1 still showed inhibition of increased levels of surface CD23, which is normally upregulated by stimulation with IL-4 and anti-CD40.

Background: To explore the roles of Toll-like receptor (TLR)2 in Th2 cytokine production and immunoglobulin (Ig) class switching following ovalbumin (OVA) sensitization.
Methods: TLR2 and wild-type C57BL/6 mice were sensitized by intraperitoneal injection with OVA. Lung pathology was assessed by hematoxylin and eosin staining.

Controlled allergic disease is associated with decreased allergen-specific IgE and increased allergen-specific IgG4. Although IL-10 has been shown to contribute to these changes, the underlying mechanisms are largely unknown. This study explored how IL-10 differentially regulates human IgE and IgG4 production.

Class switch DNA recombination (CSR) is central to the maturation of the Ab response because it diversifies Ab effector functions. Like somatic hypermutation, CSR requires activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID), whose expression is restricted to B cells, as induced by CD40 engagement or dual TLR-BCR engagement (primary CSR-inducing stimuli). By constructing conditional knockout Igh(+/C)γ(1-cre)Rab7(fl/fl) mice, we identified a B cell-intrinsic role for Rab7, a small GTPase involved in intracellular membrane functions, in mediating AID induction and CSR.

Classical class-switch recombination (cCSR) substitutes the Cμ gene with Cγ, Cε, or Cα, thereby generating IgG, IgE, or IgA classes, respectively. This activation-induced deaminase (AID)-driven process is controlled by the IgH 3' regulatory region (3'RR). Regulation of rare IgD CSR events has been enigmatic.

Background: The hygiene hypothesis states that children exposed to higher loads of microbes such as farmers' children suffer less from allergies later in life. Several immunological mechanisms underpinning the hygiene hypothesis have been proposed such as a shift in T helper cell balance, T regulatory cell activity, or immune regulatory mechanisms induced by the innate immunity.
Objective: To investigate whether the proposed immunological mechanisms for the hygiene hypotheses are found in farmers' children.
