ca. 1000 Children were given dried pustules of convalescent Pock patients (Variolation, „Variola“ from lat. varius = blurry, checkered)
ca. 1500 variolation in Harems
1717 Mary Wortley Montagu introduces from Turkey variolation in Europe
1760 Variolation of the famillies of Maria Theresia and George III. make variolation popular
1776 Washington variolates its continental army
Lady Mary Montagu, wife of the British ambassodour to Turkey
Generation of antibodies is the basis for the vast majority of succesful vaccination strategies

How succesful vaccination reduced incidence of infectious diseases
![Page 4: B cell activation and Ab production - Beyond Sciences](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012408/616a3f2011a7b741a350695c/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Duration of humoral immunity to common viral and vaccine antigens
Latent infection, recurrent re-exposure, repetitive infections, memory cell numbers or bystander memory is not necessarily an indicator for antibody titer longevity; it is likely the nature of the antigen
Viral antigens Very long halflife Protein antigens Shorter half-life
Amanna et al., NEJM, 2007

Relationship between long-term immunity and long term protection

Are there different kinds of antibodies? What are the cells that secrete antibodies? Is there only one type of B cells? Is a B cell completely autonomous? How does a B cell develop into a plasma cell? How does a B cell sense an antigen – and where? Does a normal B cell make „good“ antibodies?
Questions – principles of antibody formation

IgM - Antigen receptor on immature and naive/IgM memory B cells - First line defense during immune reaction - Very good agglutination - anti-inflammatory (artherosclerosis)
IgD - Antigen receptor on mature B cells
IgG - Main antibody in blood → Internal defense - Passes placenta
IgA - Main Ab on mucosal and gut surfaces (lung, gut, urogenital tract) → External defense - In tears, sputum, mother milk (passive immunity important for newbornes)
IgE - activates effector cells (mast cells, eosinophils) during worm infection - allergy

Integration of adaptive and innate signals in B cells – relevance for antiviral immunity and autoimmunity
Hobeika et al., J. Mol. Med., 2015
![Page 16: B cell activation and Ab production - Beyond Sciences](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012408/616a3f2011a7b741a350695c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
IgM BCR signaling
The BCR provides a „tonic“ survival signal The BCR provides signals for B cell activation by ultimatively triggering transcription factors The BCR organizes B cell signaling and its machinery integrates signals from CD40 and TLRs The BCR is an endocytotic receptor which delivers antigen super-efficiently into the MHCII loading compartment
B cell receptor signaling, CTMI, 2016, Kurosaki, Wienands (eds.)

Morphological and functional diversification of B cells

Morphological and functional diversification of B cells
Mature B cells are resting and have a low metabolic activity, consuming mainly fatty acids Activated B cells proliferate and have a high metabolic activity Plasma cells are quiescent but have an enormous energy turnover and a high, very specific metabolic activity Plasma cells need a good redox balance

• Rapid T independent response against polysaccharides (encapsulated bacteria) (TLR)
• Natural IgM
• Very rapid differentiation into plasma cells
MZ
• Shuttle between MZ and follicle; transport antigen
• Prone to interact with T cells
• Give rise to class switched (IgG, IgA, IgE) antibodies + memory

• Normally not T cell help
• Bacterial components (PAMPs) (i.e., LPS=Lipopolysaccharide)
TLR3/7/9 (mouse)
• Highly repetitive antigens
• B1- and MZ B cells
→ No memory
Thymus-independent (TI) and dependent (TD) activation – The nature of the antigen matters!
• T cell help
• Antigen needs to contain protein in a digestable and presentable form
• Mainly FO B cells
• High affine IgG
• → Memory
