Figure 1: In vivo depletion of gut IgA plasma cells by combined inhibition of BAFF and APRIL with the antibodies BAFF (mouse), mAb (blocking) (Sandy-2) (Prod. No. AG-20B-0063PF) and APRIL (mouse), mAb (blocking) (Centotto-1) (Prod. No. AG-20B-0083PF) in mice.
Method: A) Immunofluorescence of IgA-positive plasma cells (pink) and DAPI-positive nuclei (blue) in gut jejunum sections of 10-week-old wild type C57/Bl6 mice treated with 4 weekly i.p. injections of the indicated antibodies at 2 mg/kg. B) Quantification of IgA-positive plasma cells in the gut (average of 2 sections/mouse) of mice treated with Isotype control (n=5), or with anti-APRIL Centotto-1 (n=5), or with anti-BAFF Sandy-2 (n=4) or with both Centotto-1 and Sandy-2 (n=5). One way ANOVA with Dunnett’s multiple comparison test. ns: not significant. **** P<0.0001. Picture courtesy of Dr Mahya Eslami, Dr Pascal Schneider Lab, University of Lausanne, Switzerland

Note: BAFF and APRIL contribute to maintaining IgG, IgA, and IgM plasma cells in the bone marrow (BM), spleen, and intestine and rely mainly on three ligand/receptor pairs: APRIL-BCMA, BAFF-TACI, and APRIL-TACI. Together, these actors account for 90% of circulating antibodies. To efficiently target plasma cells, dual inhibition of BAFF (using blocking anti-BAFF (mouse), mAb (Sandy-2) (Prod. No. AG-20B-0063)) and APRIL (using blocking anti-APRIL (mouse), mAb (blocking) (Centotto-1) (Prod. No. AG-20B-0083PF) both developed at AdipoGen Life Sciences are required in a recently published study (see also Figure). |

Description
APRIL is a secreted cytokine, belonging to the TNF superfamily that binds to transmembrane activator and CAML interactor (TACI), B cell maturation antigen (BCMA) and can interact with carbohydrate side chains of heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPG) that may trigger cross-linking. APRIL maintains B cell homeostasis by acting at a later stage, modulating the function and survival of antigen-experienced B cells. APRIL (as well as BAFF) stimulates class-switch recombination (CSR), hence contributes to shaping humoral effector mechanisms. With regards to humoral memory, APRIL is involved in the establishment and survival of the long-lived plasma cell (LLPC) pool in the bone marrow (BM). Recently, APRIL has been shown to confer atheroprotection via binding to heparan sulfate (HS) chains of heparan-sulfate proteoglycan 2 (HSPG2), which limits LDL retention,macrophage accumulation and necrotic core formation.
