Many bacteria-associated polysaccharides induce long-lived antibody responses that protect against pathogenic microorganisms. The maintenance of polysaccharide-specific antibody titers may be due to long-lived plasma cells or ongoing antigen-driven B cell activation due to polysaccharide persistence. BALB/c and VHJ558.3 transgenic (TG) mice respond to α 1→3-dextran (DEX) by generating a peak anti-DEX response at 7 days, followed by maintenance of serum antibody levels for up to 150 days. Analysis of the cellular response to DEX identified a population of short-lived, cyclophosphamide sensitive DEX-specific plasmablasts in the spleen, and a quiescent, cyclophosphamide resistant DEX-specific antibody-secreting population in the bone marrow. BrdU pulse-chase experiments demonstrated the longevity of the DEX-specific antibody-secreting population in the bone marrow. Splenic DEX-specific plasmablasts were located in the red pulp with persisting DEX-associated CD11c+ dendritic cells 90 days after immunization, whereas DEX was not detected in the bone marrow after 28 days. Selective depletion of short-lived DEX-specific plasmablasts and memory B1b B cells using cyclophosphamide and anti-CD20 treatment had a minimal impact on the maintenance of serum anti-DEX antibodies. Collectively, these findings demonstrate that the maintenance of serum polysaccharide-specific antibodies is the result of continuous antigen-driven formation of short-lived plasmablasts in the spleen and a quiescent population of antibody-secreting cells maintained in the bone marrow for a long duration.
