Abstract
Glycans constitute basic cellular components of living organisms across biological kingdoms, and glycan-binding Abs participate in many cellular interactions during immune defense against pathogenic organisms. Glycan epitopes are expressed as carbohydrate-only entities or as oligomers or polymers on proteins and lipids. Such epitopes on glycoproteins may be formed by posttranslational modifications or neoepitopes resulting from metabolic-catabolic processes and can be altered during inflammation. Pathogenic organisms can display host-like glycans to evade the host immune response. However, Abs to glycans, shared between microorganisms and the host, exist naturally. These Abs are able to not only protect against infectious disease, but also are involved in host housekeeping functions and can suppress allergic disease. Despite the reactivity of these Abs to glycans shared between microorganisms and host, diverse tolerance-inducing mechanisms permit the B cell precursors of these Ab-secreting cells to exist within the normal B cell repertoire.

Abstract
There is a higher incidence of allergic conditions among children living in industrialized countries than those in developing regions. One explanation for this is reduced neonatal exposure to microbes and the consequent lack of immune stimulation. Sensitivity to cockroach allergen is highly correlated with the development of severe asthma. In this study, we determined that an Ab to microbial α-1,3-glucan binds an Enterobacter species and cockroach allergen. Neonatal, but not adult, mice immunized with this α-1,3-glucan-bearing Enterobacter (MK7) are protected against cockroach allergy. Following exposure to cockroach allergen, α-1,3-glucan-specific IgA-secreting cells are present in the lungs of mice immunized with MK7 as neonates but not in the lungs of those immunized as adults. Mice that are unable to generate anti-α-1,3-glucan IgA Abs were immunized with MK7 as neonates and were no longer protected against cockroach allergy. Thus, neonatal, but not adult, exposure to α-1,3-glucan results in suppressed development of cockroach allergy via pulmonary α-1,3-glucan-specific IgA-secreting cells.

Abstract
To examine the in vivo function of IgD we generated mice deficient for IgD by gene targeting. The IgD-mice show a reduced B-cell compartment with 30-50% less B cells in the spleen and lymph nodes but show a normal pre-B-cell compartment. The surface-IgD- B cells express two to three times more surface IgM than B cells of control animals. Serum concentrations of the immunoglobulin isotypes of IgD- mice are almost normal, indicating that surface-IgD expression is not necessary for class switching of B cells. Immunization experiments showed that IgD- mice could respond well to thymus-dependent and -independent antigens. After immunization normal germinal centers developed in the IgD- mice. These data suggest that IgD is not necessary for the induction of immune responses but may be important in homeostasis of cells in the B-cell compartment.

Abstract
The B cell repertoire consists of three tiers of clonotype diversity. One tier, which is the product of H chain V region rearrangements in the absence of N additions, is of limited diversity (less than 10(8) clonotypes) so that clonotypes of this tier would be expected to recur within and among B cells of individuals of an inbred strain. These clonotypes, therefore, could be subjected to, and conserved by, evolutionary selective pressures such as those imposed by ubiquitous bacterial pathogens. The second tier of clonotypes is created by H chain V region rearrangements that include N additions, and is, therefore, exceedingly diverse. Clonotypes of this tier would be unlikely to recur; however, by providing maximal diversity they would ensure protection against a wide spectrum of pathogens. The third tier of diversity is that which is generated by the superimposition of somatic mutations on clonotypes of the other two tiers. This tier of clonotypes is reflective of the refinement of specificities that are destined for expression in memory B cells. B cells exists as three distinct subpopulations, Ly-1 B cells, conventional primary B cells and memory B cells. These subpopulations differ functionally, developmentally, and by the extent to which they are impacted by immunoregulatory processes. Furthermore, B cells of these subpopulations differentially express the three tiers of clonotype diversity.

Abstract
A hallmark of the immune system is the extraordinary diversity associated with antibodies. This is made possible by a series of genetic rearrangements involving variable region gene segments. Considerable detail is known about these genetic mechanisms except for the enzymatic machinery involved. An important question in studies of the generation of diversity is whether V genes are selected for rearrangement mainly in a random manner or selected by particular developmental rules. Past studies have indicated that the acquisition of fetal and neonatal specificity repertoires is a nonrandom process. In this report, we review our studies that directly compare the adult and fetal/neonatal V gene repertoires. The evidence suggests that the adult repertoire is more diverse with indications of a random use of VH gene families. However, whether V genes are indeed randomly used in the adult remains to be clarified at the VH gene member level. The fetal repertoire, on the other hand, appears nonrandom in V gene usage. In addition, the fetal repertoire is mostly germline encoded with little evidence of junctional diversity. Taken together, the results indicate different rules for generation of the adult and fetal repertoires, findings most likely explain by distinct B cell subsets and B cell progenitors at early stages in ontogeny.

Abstract
Any immune response is characterized by its idiotypic profile. Two different kinds of idiotype (Id) have been described. Private Id are restricted to a few individuals from a species while recurrent Id appear in a large majority of individuals from the same species immunized with the same antigen. We describe, in this report, an experimental model whereby a private Id can become recurrent through genetic recombination. The immune response of A mice against the hapten arsonate is characterized by a recurrent Id called cross-reactive idiotype A (CRIA). A strongly CRI, called CRIA-like, can be occasionally detected in some BALB/c mice (5% to 10%) immunized with arsonate. Molecular studies show that CRIA and CRIA-like antibodies have highly homologous D segments and identical light chains. By contrast, their VH segments are vastly dissimilar. We have examined the anti-arsonate response of inbred strains of mice whose Igh loci are recombinant between those of A/He and BALB/c. Interestingly, we have observed that the CRIA-like Id which is private in BALB/c becomes recurrent in the AXC-1 strain which harbors the VH genes from BALB/c, the DH and CH genes from A/He. Structural studies demonstrate that highly homologous, VH, VL and D segments are used in BALB/c and AXC-1 mice. The basis for this differential expression of highly similar genes could be linked to the DH locus. However, F1 mice stemming from the cross between AXC-1 and BALB/c do not express the Id. The backcross analysis shows that the non-expression of the Id in F1 mice depends on genes unlinked to the Igh locus.

Abstract
This paper presents data on the IgG antibody response against two "thymus-independent" dextran (Dex) antigens from Leuconostoc mesenteroides, alpha(1----3) Dex B 1355S and alpha(1----6) Dex B 512F in BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice, which are considered to be responders or low responders to the respective antigen. The data point toward three common rules governing the two anti-Dex responses despite immunogenetic and antigenic disparities: (1) age dependency of the IgG isotype regulation of the response; (2) down-regulation of IgG isotype expression by T cells; and (3) individually determined preposition for IgG isotype formation in a given animal.

Abstract
The functional B cell repertoire in BALB/c mice was assessed at various stages in ontogeny. This was done by analyzing VH gene family expression using the sensitive technique of in situ hybridization. The B cell repertoire was probed with the mitogen, LPS, and the antigen DNP. DNP was chosen because B cells responsive to this hapten appear very early in ontogeny. The APCs that developed after stimulation with LPS or DNP were analyzed for VH gene expression by in situ hybridization of individual cells using radiolabeled VH gene family probes. The results indicated that VH gene expression in fetal B cells after stimulation was distinct from adult B cells in that there was a biased expression of D proximal families. The results indicated that this bias was associated with developmental age and not a given differentiation stage in the B cell lineage. In addition, stimulation of fetal B cells with DNP resulted in a large increase in expression of member(s) of VH 36-60, suggesting that the early appearance of DNP-responsive B cells is not strictly correlated with preferential rearrangement of D proximal families, VH 7183 and VH Q52. However, the results suggested that a large proportion of pre-B cells that preferentially rearrange D proximal families early in ontogeny become part of the functional developing repertoire.

Abstract
The precursor frequency for anti-DNA antibody producing cells and the affinity of antibodies secreted by these cells in both immature prereceptor B cell populations and mature B cell populations were compared between 8-week-old C57BL/6 female mice and 9-month-old B/WF1 female mice by producing a large collection of IgM secreting hybridomas from LPS-stimulated B cells. The data indicate that precursor cells for high affinity anti-DNA antibody are eliminated as they mature in C57BL/6 mice, while a sizable number of such clones are present in mature splenic B cells of aged B/WF1 mice. These results suggest that the emergence of precursors for high affinity anti-DNA producing cells in mature B cell population is an important factor in the pathogenesis of SLE.

Abstract
The results presented in this report define a dominant T cell-recognized public idiotype (SRId) expressed on monoclonal anti-chicken egg-white lysozyme (HEL) antibodies produced by hybridomas derived from secondary response lymphocytes. This Id mediates interactions between SRId+ B cells and SRId-recognizing T cells. In the absence of exogenous antigen, irradiated secondary anti-HEL B hybridoma cells (B-Hyb) of nonoverlapping specificity can be used to induce a helper T cell population capable of specifically stimulating an in vitro anti-HEL plaque-forming cell (PFC) response. Importantly, similar immunizations using carbodiimide-treated secondary anti-HEL B-Hyb cross-primed for a suppressor T cell population capable of suppressing this in vitro anti-HEL PFC response. That is, suppression was seen not only to the response induced by the homologous B-Hyb but to other B-Hyb which express anti-HEL monoclonal antibody of nonoverlapping specificity. This evidence is consistent with the presence of a pre-existent regulatory Id network involving SRId in antigennaive animals. After immunization with HEL, regulatory cells exert a strong selective pressure which leads to a secondary anti-HEL B population, of varying fine specificity, but uniformly positive for SRId.

Abstract
The etiology of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is determined in part by genetic factors which influence susceptibility to the disease. These factors presumably have a major role in determining the clinical and laboratory manifestations of SLE. Certain newer observations which may pertain to an understanding of the genetic basis of SLE will be critically reviewed in this chapter. These observations are based on advances in the analysis of human SLE and the increased knowledge provided by various murine models of human autoimmune processes. However, the specific genes involved and the mechanisms by which they exert their effect are at present still unknown. Special attention will be given newer insights into the role of genes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) and their relationship to the genes encoding the T cell antigen receptor. The role of classic immunoglobulin genes as well as more complex mechanisms involving preferential maternal or paternal genetic effects are also discussed. The contribution of genes encoding complement and complement receptors toward the expression of the disease state are discussed in brief.
