Abstract

Natural IgM (nIgM) antibodies play critical roles in cancer immunosurveillance. However, the role of B-1 B cells, the lymphocytes that produce nIgM, remains to be elucidated. L2pB1 cells, a subpopulation of B-1 B cells, have a unique poly-self-reactive nIgM repertoire and are capable of phagocytosis, potent antigen presentation, and immunomodulation. Using an inducible knock-in and knockout mouse model, we investigated the effect of the loss of L2pB1 cells in a B16F10 melanoma model. Our results show active tumor infiltration of L2pB1 cells in wild type mice, and conversely, depletion of L2pB1 cells results in larger tumor mass and increased angiogenesis.
