| Popis | Stimulation with polyclonal activators is a tool to increase antibody secretion in B cells. The aim of the present study was to select the most effective common commercially available polyclonal activators of rabbit B cells. Specifically, type B oligodeoxynucleotides with unmethylated deoxycytidyl-deoxyguanosine dinucleotides (CpG-ODN), recombinant rabbit interleukin-2 (rrIL-2), lipopolysaccharide (LPS), pokeweed mitogen (PWM) and Resiquimod (R848) were tested on B cells isolated from blood and spleen by fluorescence-activated cell sorting. Based on the obtained data, stimulation with CpG-ODN induced the highest antigen-specific antibody levels detected by ELISA in supernatants when a single activator was used. In contrast, LPS, PWM and R848 showed a weak or no stimulatory effect. Stimulation with a mix of activators was more effective than CpG-ODN alone, which indicates a synergistic effect in the stimulation of antibody production. |
