IgE Effector Mechanisms, in Concert with Mast Cells, Contribute to Acquired Host Defense against Staphylococcus aureus


ABSTRACT: Best known for their roles in allergic diseases, the physiologic function of immunoglobulin E (IgE) and mast cells (the so-called allergy module of immunity) has been enigmatic. Recent evidence shows that allergic reactions can help to protect against the toxicity of venoms. As bacteria are a potent alternative source of toxins, we assessed the potential role of the allergy module in antibacterial host defense. We observed that the immune response against S. aureus skin infection includes specific IgEs and substantially improves systemic host defense against secondary S. aureus infections in mice. This acquired protection depends on functional IgE effector mechanisms and mast cells. Our results reveal the powerful antibacterial potential of the allergy module and therefore a novel physiologic function of IgEs and mast cells.

Allergies are considered to represent mal-directed type 2 immune responses against mostly innocuous exogenous compounds. Immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies are a characteristic feature of allergies and mediate hypersensitivity against allergens through activation of effector cells, particularly mast cells (MCs). Although the physiological functions of this dangerous branch of immunity have remained enigmatic, recent evidence shows that allergic immune reactions can help to protect against the tox  ...[more]
