Abstract

Unmethylated CpG DNA activation of naive CD27− B cells has been reported to require B-cell–receptor (BCR) cross-linking. We describe a culture system using CpG DNA with sequential steps for T-cell–independent activation of naive CD19+CD27− human peripheral blood B cells that induces efficient CD138+ plasma-cell differentiation. CD27+ and CD27− B cells were cultured in a 3-step system: (1) days 0 to 4: CpG, IL-2/10/15; (2) days 4 to 7: IL-2/6/10/15 and anti-CD40L; (3) days 7 to 10: IL-6/15, IFN-α, hepatocyte growth factor, and hyaluronic acid. Both CD27+ and CD27− B cells up-regulated intracytoplasmic TLR-9 following CpG DNA activation. CD27− B-cell activation required cell-cell contact. Both naive and memory B cells progressed to a plasma-cell phenotype: CD19lowCD20lowCD27+CD38+HLA-DRlow. Seventy percent of the CD27−-derived CD138+ cells demonstrated productive V chain rearrangements without somatic mutations, confirming their origin from naive precursors. Plasma cells derived from CD27+ B cells were primarily IgG+, while those from CD27− B cells were IgM+. Our results indicate that under certain conditions, naive B cells increase TLR-9 expression and proliferate to CpG DNA stimulation without BCR signaling. In addition to its immunologic significance, this system should be a valuable method to interrogate the antigenic specificity of naive B cells.
