Upon reactivation, these cells acquire the same functional properties as naïve B-cells, including clonal expansion, differentiation into ASCs or GC B-cells, and affinity maturation, but with faster kinetics [229]. In comparison to the naïve B-cell response, the memory B-cell response results in an increased production of antibodies with higher affinity and switched isotypes. In humans, memory B-cells have been defined by their expression of CD27, a member of the TNF receptor superfamily, yet CD27- memory B-cells have also been described [230].
This objective has been proven to be a major challenge. The allograft contains a vast array of different antigens to which the immune system can respond; tolerance may develop to some antigens, but not others, possibly through different mechanisms. Furthermore, tolerance may occur despite immunosuppression; recognition of immunosuppressed patients who have established tolerance to their allograft is complicated due to the lack of suitable tools to identify them. Although rare, operational tolerance, generally defined as stable graft function without clinical features of chronic rejection and in the absence of any immunosuppressive drugs [268], has been observed in transplant recipients after successful intentional weaning of immunosuppression (more frequently in liver transplant recipients than other organ recipients) and in non-adherent patients who have stopped their medication [269, 270].
These various subsets provide a highly heterogeneous APC population that shapes adaptive immune responses according to environmental cues. For example, mDCs can produce large quantities of IL-12 upon activation, which drives T-cell differentiation into a Th1 phenotype and B-cell differentiation into IgMproducing ASCs. In contrast, pDCs have a primary role in antiviral immune responses by secretion of type 1 IFN (IFN-α/IFN-β) after activation by viral components through TLR7 and TLR9 [198]. DCs can also activate innate immune cells, such as NK-cells and NKT-cells [197].
