Experiments reported herein demonstrate that activation of bovine B cells via surface immunoglobulin M (sIgM) cross-linking, analogous to T-cell independent (TI-2) antigenic stimulation, results in the expression of CD5. Interestingly, in the presence of CD40 ligand, sIgM-mediated induction of CD5 on B cells was inhibited. These findings indicate that activation of bovine B cells via B-cell receptor (BCR) cross-linking results in a CD5+ B-cell phenotype and that CD40 signalling is inhibitory to this process. Analysis of cytokine mRNA indicates that bovine B cells constitutively express tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin (IL)-1beta transcripts in vitro, while IL-10 mRNA expression is induced following sIgM cross-linking. IL-12 p40 transcripts were produced by B cells activated by CD40, but not by BCR, ligation. Analysis of cytokine receptor mRNA indicates that activation through CD40, in the presence or absence of IgM cross-linking, results in increased IL-4 receptor-alpha (IL-4Ralpha), IL-13Ralpha1 and interferon-alpha receptor 1 (IFN-alphaR1) mRNA levels. Overall, these findings suggest that activation of bovine B cells through BCR cross-linking yields an activation phenotype that differs substantially from that of B cells activated through CD40.

D007075 Immunoglobulin M A class of immunoglobulin bearing mu chains (IMMUNOGLOBULIN MU-CHAINS). IgM can fix COMPLEMENT. The name comes from its high molecular weight and originally was called a macroglobulin. Gamma Globulin, 19S,IgM,IgM Antibody,IgM1,IgM2,19S Gamma Globulin,Antibody, IgM
D008024 Ligands A molecule that binds to another molecule, used especially to refer to a small molecule that binds specifically to a larger molecule, e.g., an antigen binding to an antibody, a hormone or neurotransmitter binding to a receptor, or a substrate or allosteric effector binding to an enzyme. Ligands are also molecules that donate or accept a pair of electrons to form a coordinate covalent bond with the central metal atom of a coordination complex. (From Dorland, 27th ed) Ligand
D008213 Lymphocyte Activation Morphologic alteration of small B LYMPHOCYTES or T LYMPHOCYTES in culture into large blast-like cells able to synthesize DNA and RNA and to divide mitotically. It is induced by INTERLEUKINS; MITOGENS such as PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININS, and by specific ANTIGENS. It may also occur in vivo as in GRAFT REJECTION.
