Germinal center-B (GC-B) cells differentiate into memory B cells and plasma cells (PC) through interaction with T cells and follicular dendritic cells (FDC). Activated T cell and FDC play distinct roles in this process. The detailed kinetic experiments revealed that cytokines secreted by activated T cells determined the pathway of GC-B cell differentiation. IL-4 directs GC-B cells to differentiate into memory B cells, whereas IL-10 steers them into PC. FDC/HK cells do not direct either pathway, but provide signals for proliferation of GC-B cells. A novel FDC-signaling molecule 8D6 (FDC-SM-8D6) produced by FDC augments PC generation in the GC. FDC-SM-8D6-specific mAb blocked PC generation and IgG secretion but not memory B cell proliferation. COS cells expressing FDC-SM-8D6 enhanced GC-B cell proliferation and Ab secretion, which was blocked by mAb 8D6. In the cultures with B cell subsets, PC generation was inhibited by mAb 8D6 in the cultures with CD27+ B cells but not in the culture with CD27− B cells, suggesting that CD27+ PC precursor is the specific target of FDC-SM-8D6 stimulation.
