Background and Objectives We evaluated the phenotypic and functional distinction between B cells with receptors for human blood group A and B determinants in a-galactosyltransferase-deficient (GalTÀ/À) mice. Materials and Methods GalTÀ/À mice were immunized with human blood group A or B red blood cells (RBCs), and the anti-A or B anti-bodies (Abs) were determined in their sera. B cells with receptors for group A and B epitopes were identified by the use of synthetic A and B determinants. Results The anti-A and anti-B Ab levels were comparably elevated in the sera of GalTÀ/À mice after the immunization with A/B-RBCs. B cells bearing receptors recognizing B epitopes exhibited the CD5dim/À CD11b+ B-1b-ell phenotype, whereas those with receptors for A epitopes showed the CD5+CD11b+ B-1a-cell phenotype. Myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88) levels increased in B cells with anti-B receptors, indicating a contribution of Toll-like receptor (TLR) signalling, whereas no such elevation was detected in B cells with anti-A receptors. Calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) treatment prevented the elevation of anti-A Ab levels after immunization, but did not affect anti-B Ab levels. Conclusions These findings indicate different sensitivities of B cells with blood group A and B antigens in the response to CNIs.
