DC-CK1 (CCL18) is a dendritic cell (DC)-specific chemokine expressed in both T and B cell areas of secondary lymphoid organs that preferentially attracts CD45RA(+) T cells. In this study, we further explored the nature of DC-CK1 expressing cells in germinal centers (GCs) of secondary lymphoid organs using a newly developed anti-DC-CK1 mAb. Immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated a remarkable difference in the number of DC-CK1 expressing cells in adjacent GCs within one tonsil, implicating that the expression of DC-CK1 in GCs depends on the activation and/or progression stage of the GC reaction. Using immunohistology and RNA analysis, we demonstrated that GCDC are the source of DC-CK1 production in the GCs. Considering the recently described function of GCDC in (naive) B cell proliferation, isotype switching and Ab production, we investigated the ability of DC-CK1 to attract B lymphocytes. Here we demonstrate that DC-CK1 is a pertussis toxin-dependent chemoattractant for B lymphocytes with a preference in attracting mantle zone (CD38(-)) B cells. The findings that GCDC produce DC-CK1 and attract mantle zone B cells support a key role for GCDC in the development of GCs and memory B cell formation.

D003713 Dendritic Cells Specialized cells of the hematopoietic system that have branch-like extensions. They are found throughout the lymphatic system, and in non-lymphoid tissues such as SKIN and the epithelia of the intestinal, respiratory, and reproductive tracts. They trap and process ANTIGENS, and present them to T-CELLS, thereby stimulating CELL-MEDIATED IMMUNITY. They are different from the non-hematopoietic FOLLICULAR DENDRITIC CELLS, which have a similar morphology and immune system function, but with respect to humoral immunity (ANTIBODY PRODUCTION).
