Programming isotype specific plasma cell differentiation

Abstract Antibodies are produced across multiple isotypes with distinct properties that coordinate initial antigen clearance and confer long-term antigen-specific immune protection. Here, we interrogate the molecular programs of isotype-specific murine plasma cells (PC) following helper T cell dependent immunization and within established steady-state immunity. Using integrated single cell strategies, we reveal conserved and divergent components of the rapid effector phase of antigen-specific IgM+versus inflammation modulating programs dictated by IgG2a/b+PC differentiation. During antibody affinity maturation, the germinal center (GC) cycle imparts separable programs for post-GC inhibitory IgG1+and inflammatory IgG2a/b+PC to direct long-term cellular function. In the steady-state, two subsets of IgM+and separate IgG2b+PC programs clearly segregate from splenic IgA+PC programs that emphasize mucosal barrier protection. These diverse isotype-specific molecular pathways of PC differentiation control complementary modules of antigen clearance and immune protection that could be selectively targeted for immunotherapeutic applications and vaccine design..
