Abstract:
:Interleukin-13 (IL-13) is a cytokine which significantly enhances the proliferation and differentiation of B lymphocytes. We therefore evaluated its role in the formation of a humoral immune response in vivo. Upon oral immunization with the B subunit of Escherichia coli heat-labile enterotoxin (LT-B), rapid up-regulation of IL-13 mRNA expression in the mesenteric lymph nodes of LT-B intubated mice occurred. This result suggested that IL-13 might be involved in the formation of a mucosal antibody response against LT-B if this cytokine was in fact secreted. To test this possibility, the coding region for murine IL-13 was cloned into the pFLAG-1 expression vector. Recombinant murine IL-13 was purified from bacterial lysates and used as an immunogen to produce polyclonal anti-IL-13 antibodies. Groups of BALB/c mice treated in vivo with anti-IL-13 antibody 2 days before and on the day of oral immunization with LT-B had significantly reduced intestinal IgA and serum IgG and IgA anti-LT-B antibody responses when compared to mice treated with control antibody. Furthermore, groups of mice primed with LT-B and then treated with anti-IL-13 antibody prior to oral immunization with a second dose of LT-B also had significantly reduced intestinal IgA and serum IgG and IgA anti-LT-B antibody titres compared to controls. In vitro LT-B restimulation experiments using splenic mononuclear leucocytes isolated from LT-B primed mice treated with anti-IL-13 antibody demonstrated decreased expression of IL-4 and IL-13 mRNA and decreased IL-4 secretion when compared to controls. Together these results demonstrate an important role for IL-13 in the formation of a humoral immune response at mucosal surfaces.
