Abstract
PURPOSE Th17 cells and their cytokines play a critical role in the pathogenesis of various autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Recently, we have demonstrated that intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) suppresses differentiation, amplification, and functions of human Th17 cells. In this report we investigated whether IVIG inhibits IL-17 production by Th17 cells cultured in the presence of IL-23 and whether the inhibitory effect of IVIG on IL-17 production implicates anti-IL-17 antibodies. METHODS Naive CD4(+) T cells were stimulated in the presence of TGF-β, IL-21, and IL-23 for the differentiation of Th17 cells. Memory CD4(+) T cells were stimulated with IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-23 for the amplification of Th17 cells. IVIG (0.15 mM) was added to the cells 12 h after initiation of cultures. IL-17A cytokine and anti-IL-17 antibodies were measured by ELISA. RESULTS IL-23 did not deter the inhibitory effect of IVIG on IL-17 production from the differentiating and expanding Th17 cells. Further, suppression of IL-17 by IVIG did not implicate anti-IL-17 antibodies in the immunoglobulin preparations. CONCLUSION The effect of IVIG on the inhibition of IL-17 production by Th17 cells is a consequence of modulation of Th17 cells and their intracellular signaling pathways and not due to passive neutralization of IL-17 by anti-IL-17 antibodies in the immunoglobulin preparations.

Abstract
The mechanisms of action of intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG) are complex and mostly reproduce those of the natural immunoglobulin G (IgG) in our organism. The therapeutic doses used range from substitutive (200-400mg/kg of body weight) in immunodeficiencies to high doses (1-2g/kg of body weight) in autoimmune or inflammatory diseases. The paradoxical pro- or anti-inflammatory effects of IVIG are based on the modulation of the expression of activating versus inhibitory Fc receptors, the type and stage of maturation of the target cell. This huge diversity of actions may explain the extensive and varied range of clinical applications of IVIG nowadays (immunodeficiencies, autoimmune diseases, degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, and cancer). On the other hand, biological therapies with monoclonal antibodies mostly consist of IgG molecules with unique antigen specificity, and currently represent a therapeutic field expanding in various pathologies including cancer and diseases of immunological basis. The effects of IgG are added to their specific effects on molecules target.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Under inflammatory conditions, T cell-dependent (TD) protein antigens induce proinflammatory T- and B-cell responses. In contrast, tolerance induction by TD antigens without costimulation triggers the development of regulatory T cells. Under both conditions, IgG antibodies are generated, but whether they have different immunoregulatory functions remains elusive. OBJECTIVE It was shown recently that proinflammatory or anti-inflammatory effector functions of IgG molecules are determined by different Fc N-linked glycosylation patterns. We sought to examine the Fc glycosylation and anti-inflammatory quality of IgG molecules formed on TD tolerance induction. METHODS We administered chicken ovalbumin (OVA) with or without costimulus to mice and analyzed OVA-reactive IgG Fc glycosylation. The anti-inflammatory function of differentially glycosylated anti-OVA IgGs was further investigated in studies with dendritic cell cultures and in an in vivo model of allergic airway disease. Additionally, we analyzed the Fc glycosylation pattern of birch pollen-reactive serum IgGs after successful allergen-specific immunotherapy in patients. RESULTS Stimulation with TD antigens under inflammatory conditions induces plasma cells expressing low levels of α2,6-sialyltransferase and producing desialylated IgGs. In contrast, plasma cells induced on tolerance induction did not downregulate α2,6-sialyltransferase expression and secreted immunosuppressive sialylated IgGs that were sufficient to block antigen-specific T- and B-cell responses, dendritic cell maturation, and allergic airway inflammation. Importantly, successful specific immunotherapy in allergic patients also induced sialylated allergen-specific IgGs. CONCLUSIONS Our data show a novel antigen-specific immunoregulatory mechanism mediated by anti-inflammatory sialylated IgGs that are formed on TD tolerance induction. These findings might help to develop novel antigen-specific therapies for the treatment of allergy and autoimmunity.

Abstract
One way for intravenous Ig (IVIg) to affect responses of the B cells might be to operate through their TLR7 and TLR9. We confirm the ability of TLR agonists to induce CD25 expression in B cells. For this to occur, sialylated Fc-gamma of IgG included in the IVIg preparation are required. As a result, IVIg suppresses TLR-induced production of the proinflammatory IL-6, but not that of the anti-inflammatory IL-10. That is, IVIg mimics the effects of the MyD88 inhibitor. Finally, as we previously showed that IVIg induces CD22 to recruit the inhibitory SHP-1, we established that this enzyme was also involved in IVIg-induced inhibition of TLR9 signaling. This is the first report to demonstrate such a mechanism underlying the negative impact of IVIg on B lymphocytes.

Abstract
Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) is used for the treatment of an increasing number of autoimmune diseases. Clinical observations on IVIg-treated patients have revealed a modulation of T cell populations and functions in these patients. In vitro studies aimed at understanding the mechanisms underlying the effects of IVIg on T cells led to the conclusion that IVIg directly affected lectin-activated T cell functions. However, more recent studies have suggested the absence of a direct effect of IVIg on T cells. In the present work, we revisited the effect of IVIg on T cells using lectin-stimulated human T cells and showed that IVIg inhibited T cell functions only when added simultaneously with the activating lectin. Further, we showed that IVIg depleted from lectin-reactive IgG was no longer inhibitory, suggesting that the effect of IVIg on T cells was the consequence of lectin neutralization, possibly by interaction with glycans present in F(ab')(2) portion of IgG molecules. Our results challenge the previously widely accepted notion that IVIg exerts its anti-inflammatory effects by acting directly on T cells and suggest that effects of IVIg observed in treated patients are rather a consequence of the recently reported inhibitory effect of IVIg on antigen presentation.

Abstract
The infusion of high doses of intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIg) produce anti-inflammatory effects in a diversity of autoimmune disorders. The need for such high doses suggests that only a small fraction of IgG is responsible for the anti-inflammatory effects. We recently showed that IVIg was internalized in APCs to compete with antigens for loading on MHC II molecules, leading to reduced antigen-specific T cell responses. Here we show that highly cationic IgG molecules present in IVIg are internalized more efficiently than IVIg in mouse P388D1 cells. We also show that the increased internalization correlates with the extent of inhibition of antigen presentation. Chemically cationized IVIg similarly showed improved internalization and inhibition of antigen presentation properties compared to IVIg. These observations suggest that highly cationic IgG are important mediators of the anti-inflammatory effects of IVIg resulting from inhibition of antigen presentation, such as the reduction in T cell activation and autoantibody production.

Abstract
Most studies on the effects of naturally occurring autoantibodies (NAbs) on immune cells have been performed in the context of research on the immunomodulatory effects of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG). Among others, IVIG inhibits the differentiation, maturation and functions of dendritic cells (DC), thereby suppressing T-cell activation. In addition, IVIG stimulates expansion and suppressive function of regulatory T cells (Treg) carrying the antigens CD4, CD25 and Foxp3. Current data on the immunomodulatory effects of IVIG on DC and Treg are summarized, and possible molecular interactions between NAbs and DC or Treg that mediate these effects are discussed.

Abstract
Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) products are derived from pooled human plasma from thousands of donors and have been used for the treatment of primary immunodeficiency disorders for more than 30 years. IVIg products are also effective in the treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory disorders, however, the precise mechanism(s) of action are not known. Recent data suggest that IVIg has a much broader ability to regulate cellular immunity, including innate and adaptive components. IVIg-induced upregulation of Fcγ receptor IIB on B cells appears to be an important mode of action in suppression of antigen-presenting cell activity and antibody production. IVIg is also a recently recognized modifier of complement activation and injury. Analysis of clinical studies examining the use of IVIg in desensitization protocols and for treatment of antibody-mediated rejection in transplant recipients are supportive. Here, we discuss these important advancements and their relevance to transplant medicine.

Abstract
Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) can exert beneficial effects in autoimmune and inflammatory diseases via several mutually non-exclusive mechanisms. While, IVIg can directly modulate the functions of both innate and adaptive immune cells such as dendritic cells (DC), macrophages, B and T cells, several reports have also highlighted that the regulation of immune responses by IVIg can be indirect. In view of these results, we aimed at exploring whether indirect regulation of immune cells by 'IVIg-educated' innate cells is a universal phenomenon. We addressed this question by deciphering the modulation of B cell functions by 'IVIg-educated' DC. Our results indicate that human B cells are resistant to immunomodulation by 'IVIg-educated' DC. However, IVIg at therapeutic concentrations can directly inhibit B cell activation and proliferation. These results thus suggest that, indirect modulation of immune cells by IVIg is not a universal phenomenon.

Abstract
The efficacy of IVIG in preventing GvHD has not been definitely demonstrated clinically. Using a xenogeneic model of GvHD in NOD/SCID/γc- (NSG) mice, we showed that weekly administration of IVIG significantly reduced the incidence and associated mortality of GvHD to a degree similar to CsA. Unlike CsA and OKT3, IVIG were not associated with inhibition of human T-cell proliferation in mice. Instead, IVIG significantly inhibited the secretion of human IL-17, IL-2, IFN-γ and IL-15 suggesting that IVIG prevented GvHD by immunomodulation. Furthermore, the pattern of modification of the human cytokine storm differed from that observed with CsA and OKT3. Finally, in a humanized mouse model of immune reconstitution, in which NSG mice were engrafted with human CD34(+) stem cells, IVIG transiently inhibited B-cell reconstitution, whereas peripheral T-cell reconstitution and thymopoiesis were unaffected. Together these in vivo data raise debate related to the appropriateness of IVIG in GvHD prophylaxis. In addition, this model provides an opportunity to further elucidate the precise mechanism(s) by which IVIG inhibit GvHD.
