Our previous study demonstrated that Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) plays a vital role in the maturation of bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDCs) from the mice immunized with human β2-glycoprotein I (β2GPI). However, the roles of TLR4 in the activation of B cells and production of anti-β2GPI antibodies in vivo have been rarely studied. This study aimed to investigate the activation of B cells from TLR4-defective (C3H/HeJ) and TLR4-intact (C3H/HeN) mice pre-immunized with human β2GPI. After β2GPI injection, the level of anti-β2GPI antibody in the serum of TLR4-defective and TLR4-intact mice was gradually increased and the number and size of germinal centers in the spleen were also significantly increased. Compared with C3H/HeJ mice, we observed significantly higher anti-β2GPI antibody titer and more germinal centers in C3H/HeN mice. Moreover, the β2GPI-induced expression of CD40L, CD40, CD80, CD86 and MHC II in C3H/HeN mice was significantly higher than that in C3H/HeJ mice. Furthermore, the β2GPI-induced expression of B cell activating factor (BAFF) in the spleen and IL-6 and IL-10 in B cells from C3H/HeN mice was also significantly increased compared to C3H/HeJ mice. Taken together, our results suggest that TLR4 is required for the activation of B cells and the production of autoantibody in mice treated with β2GPI, but the immunological mechanisms of antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) need further investigation.

D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.

D005434 Flow Cytometry Technique using an instrument system for making, processing, and displaying one or more measurements on individual cells obtained from a cell suspension. Cells are usually stained with one or more fluorescent dyes specific to cell components of interest, e.g., DNA, and fluorescence of each cell is measured as it rapidly transverses the excitation beam (laser or mercury arc lamp). Fluorescence provides a quantitative measure of various biochemical and biophysical properties of the cell, as well as a basis for cell sorting. Other measurable optical parameters include light absorption and light scattering, the latter being applicable to the measurement of cell size, shape, density, granularity, and stain uptake.
