Abstract
Complement C3 has been described as playing an important role in the cell-mediated immune response, C3b has the capacity to covalently bind Ag and then to stimulate in vitro Ag presentation to T lymphocytes, To verify this observation in vivo, we prepared and purified covalent human C3b-Ag complexes using lysozyme (HEL) as Ag, The characterization of these HEL-C3b complexes indicates that they are representative of those susceptible to be generated in physiological conditions. Mice were immunized with 0.1 to 0.6 mu g of either free HEL, MEL + C3b, HEL-C3b, or MEL + CFA, Response was assessed after two i.p. injections by quantification of specific Ab production. Immunization with either HEL-C3b complexes or HEL + CFA leads to anti-MEL IgG production whereas free HEL or HEL + C3b was ineffective. Either HEL-C3b or HEL + CFA immunizations led to a similar Ig subclasse patterns, including IgG1, IgG2a, IgA, and IgM,Our experiments provide the first evidence for modulation of specific Ab response by C3b when it is bound to Ag through a physiological-like link, Taken together with previous data concerning Ab response following recombinant HEL-C3d immunization, cellular events such as processing of C3b-Ag by APCand recognition by T lymphocytes, this present result underlines the importance of C3b and its fragments in stimulation of the immune system, throughthe multiplicity and complementarity of its interactions.
