How the neonatal immune system avoids inflammatory responses during initial acquisition of the microbiota remains unclear. Establishing intestinal homeostasis is particularly challenging for neonates because their immune systems have not fully developed. The goal of this application is to investigate how maternal antibodies instruct the neonatal immune system to limit T cell responses to newly acquired microbial antigens in the intestine. This proposal builds on our discovery that mothers generate T cell-independent IgG2b and IgG3 antibodies reactive with the microbiota and pass these antibodies to their offspring in utero and through breastmilk. Newborn mice that do not receive any maternal antibodies show increased translocation of commensal bacteria across the intestinal barrier, mount inappropriate T cell responses against mucosal antigens, and weigh less for the first few weeks of life. Similar defects are apparent in neonates that only lack maternal IgG2b and IgG3, demonstrating that these isotypes are required to maintain intestinal homeostasis early in life. Remarkably, if neonates are experimentally forced to acquire T-dependent IgG2c antibodies reactive with the microbiota, then they suffer significant mortality and morbidity. Thus, our preliminary results indicate that the type of antibody acquired by neonates from their mothers can dramatically impact health during the first weeks of life. This proposal will determine the mechanism by which different IgG isotypes suppress or enhance responses to the microbiota in neonates. In addition, we will determine whether specific bacteria drive the immune dysregulation observed in the absence of maternal IgG antibodies or when inflammatory IgG isotypes are acquired. Overall, the studies described in this proposal will reveal how microbiota-reactive maternal antibodies regulate neonatal immunity to the microbiota.

新生儿免疫系统如何避免在菌群初次获得期间炎症反应 仍然不清楚。建立肠道稳态对新生儿特别具有挑战性 免疫系统尚未完全发展。该应用的目的是研究母亲 抗体指示新生儿免疫系统限制T细胞对新获得的微生物抗原的反应 在肠道中。这项建议是基于我们发现母亲产生与T细胞无关的IgG2B和 IgG3抗体用菌群反应，并将这些抗体传递给子宫内的后代，并通过 母乳。未接受任何母体抗体的新生小鼠显示出增加的易位 横跨肠屏障的共生细菌，对粘膜的不适当T细胞反应 抗原，生命的头几周重量减少。在仅缺乏的新生儿中，类似的缺陷也很明显 母体IgG2B和IgG3，证明这些同型需要维持肠内稳态 生命的早期。值得注意的是，如果新生儿被强迫获得T依赖性IgG2C抗体 用微生物群反应，然后遭受显着的死亡率和发病率。因此，我们的初步结果 表明新生儿从母亲那里获得的抗体类型会极大地影响健康 在生命的头几周。该建议将确定不同IgG同种型的机制 抑制或增强对新生儿微生物群的反应。此外，我们将确定是否具体 细菌驱动在没有母体IgG抗体或何时观察到的免疫失调 获得炎症性IgG同种型。总体而言，本提案中描述的研究将揭示如何 微生物群反应性母体抗体调节对微生物群的新生儿免疫。
