PG - 2603-11 AB - Our study describes tissue-specific migration of T and B cells during a localized anti-viral immune response. After mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) injection, B lymphocytes of the draining lymph node become infected and present a retroviral superantigen to CD4(+) T lymphocytes. Infected B cells receive superantigen-mediated help in a fashion comparable to classical immune responses. To investigate the fate of T and B lymphocytes that had interacted via cognate help in the same peripheral lymph node microenvironment we adoptively transferred them into naive recipients. Here we show that MMTV-infected B cells and superantigen-stimulated T cells were programmed to migrate to distinct sites of the body. Plasmablasts but not T cells migrated to the mammary gland and activated alpha4beta1 integrins were found to have a crucial role in the migration to the mammary gland. In contrast, T cells had a much higher affinity for secondary lymphoid organs and large intestine. This demonstrates that upon antigen-driven B and T lymphocyte interaction in the local draining lymph node a subset-specific homing program for B and T lymphocytes is induced.
