Figure S2. TI antigen-specific B cell activation reduces a subsequent antigen-induced DTH reaction. (A) Graphical representation of the experimental approach followed in B-D and described in Figure 1. WT mice were injected i.p. with either PBS or 50 µg of TNP-Ficoll, TNP-LPS or TNP-LPS in CFA or alum or NP-Ficoll or TNP-BSA alone or TNP-BSA in CFA on d -12. DTH was induced through i.p. injection of TNP-OVA in alum on d 0 and OVA in the right footpad on d 14. (B)The TNP-reactivity of cloned anti-TNP monoclonal IgG1, IgG2c, IgG2b and IgM standard Abs with identical VDJ and VJ regions is shown, in addition to the specificity validation of secondary HRP-coupled anti-IgG1, anti-IgG2c, anti-IgG2b and anti-IgM Abs used in the anti-TNP ELISA experiments to calculate the anti-TNP Ab concentrations in Figure 1. Each ELISA was repeated at least 2 times. (C) Anti-TNP IgA Ab levels on d -1 were determined via ELISA. The symbols represent data from individual animals. Horizontal lines represent means + SEM. (D) Anti-NP serum isotype and IgG subclass Ab levels on day -1 induced with TI NP-Ficoll were determined via ELISA. One representative of 3 independent experiments is shown.

Figure S3. TI antigen-specific B cell activation reduces a subsequent antigen-induced DTH reaction independent of FcgRIIB. (A) Graphical representation of the experimental approach followed in B. Fcgr2b-/- mice were injected i.p. with either PBS (n=6) or 50 µg of TNP-LPS (n=5), TNP-LPS in CFA (n=6), or TNP-BSA in CFA (n=5) on d -12. DTH was induced through i.p. injection of TNP-OVA in alum on d 0 and OVA in the right footpad on d 14. (B) The differences in footpad thickness between the right and left footpad of the indicated Fcgr2b-/- mice were determined at 4 days after local DTH induction. A box-and-wisker diagram with median and sample minimum and maximum is shown. One representative of 3 independent experiments is shown.

Figure S4. TI immunization induces sialylated IgG Abs. (A) The largest IgG Fc glycan coupled to Asn 297 with the cleavage site of EndoS is depicted. Sialic acid: human N-acetylneuraminic acid [Neu5Ac] or murine N-glycolylneuraminic acid [Neu5Gc] depending on the source of the IgG Ab: murine serum or supernatant from human HEK 293 cells. (B)Potential human and murine Fc glycan structures released with EndoS from Asn297. The numbers show the molecular masses (m/z) of the potential human and mouse Fc glycan structures (permethylated) determined through MALDI-TOF MS. (C) The Fc glycosylation (the same analyses as in Figure 3, B and C) of purified total IgGs from the pooled sera of three 10 wk-old untreated WT (independent experiments, n=11) or Tcrbd-/- (n=3) mice or purified OVA- or TNP-specific IgGs from the pooled sera of 6-10 10-wk-old WT mice i.p. injected 14 days before with 2 mg of pure OVA (n=3); or 100 µg of OVA in CFA (n=18) or alum (n=3) or TNP-OVA in CFA (n=3); or 50 µg of TNP-LPS (n=4), TNP-Ficoll (n=5) or TNP-LPS in CFA (n=3) or alum (n=3) was analyzed. . The bars indicate the frequency of glycan structures with 0, 1 or 2 galactose (G) and 0, 1 or 2 sialic acid (S) residues and represent means + SEM for all independent experiments for each group. (D) The Fc glycosylation, (E) sialylation and (F) agalactosylation (G0) of purified total IgGs from the pooled sera of three 10 wk-old untreated Fcgr2b-/- mice (n=3) or purified OVA- or TNP-reactive IgGs from the pooled sera of six 10-wk-old Fcgr2b-/- mice i.p. injected 14 days before with 100 µg of OVA in CFA (n=3) or 50 µg of TNP-Ficoll (n=3), TNP-LPS (n=3) or TNP-LPS in CFA (n=3) were analyzed.

Figure S5. IFNgRI and IL-17RA are important for the development of inflammatory asialylated IgGs. (A) The Fc glycosylation (the same analyses as in Figure 3, D and E). of purified total IgGs from the pooled sera of three 10-wk-old untreated WT mice (independent experiments; n=11) or purified OVA-specific IgGs from the pooled sera of six 10-wk-old WT (n=18), Ifngr1-/- (n=5), Il17ra-/- (n=3) and Ifngr1-/- x Il17ra-/- (n=3) mice i.p. injected 14 days before with 100 µg of OVA in CFA was analyzed through EndoS-treatment and MALDI-TOF MS (Supplemental Figure 4, A and B). The bars indicate the frequency of glycan structures with 0, 1 or 2 galactose (G) and 0, 1 or 2 sialic acid (S) residues and represent the means + SEM for all independent experiments for each group. The data from untreated and treated WT mice were used from our recent studies (13) (B) Anti-OVA serum IgG1, IgG2c and IgG2b levels on d 14 of the indicated groups were determined via ELISA. The symbols represent data from individual animals. Horizontal lines represent means + SEM. One representative of 3 ELISA experiments is shown.

Figure S6. Transfer of antigen-specific sialylated monoclonal IgGs reduces a subsequent antigen-induced DTH response. (A) Graphical representation of the experimental approach followed in B-G. WT and Fcgr2b-/- mice were simultaneously injected i.v. on d -1 with either PBS or 100 µg of native non-sialylated (<1% sial) or 5%, 15% or 50% sialylated (sial; mix of native and in vitro sialylated H5 (70% sialylation; B)) monoclonal anti-TNP murine IgG1 (hybridoma clone H5) or with 100 µg of native low-sialylated (3% sial) or 64% in vitro sialylated antigen-unspecific anti-Thy1.1 murine IgG1 (hybridoma clone OX-7; C) (each group, n=7-8). DTH responses were induced through the injection of TNP-OVA in alum on d 0 and OVA in the right footpad on d 14. (B and C) The frequency of Fc sialic acid (S) modifications (Supplemental Figure 4) on native or in vitro sialylated (B) anti-TNP murine IgG1 (clone H5) or (C) anti-Thy1.1 murine IgG1 (clone OX-7) was determined through EndoS-treatment and MALDI-TOF MS. The bars represent means + SEM. (D) Serum IgG2b anti-OVA Ab levels on d 13 were determined via ELISA. Symbols represent data from individual animals. Horizontal lines represent means + SEM. (E) The differences in footpad thickness between the right and left footpad were determined at 3 days after local DTH induction. A box-and-wisker diagram with median and sample minimum and maximum is shown. One representative out of two independent experiments is shown. (F and G) Altered IgG glycosylation of anti-TNP murine IgG1 does not influence antigen binding. (F) Murine IgG1 ELISA and (G) TNP reactivity of native non-sialylated anti-TNP IgG1 (H5 native) and anti-Thy1.1 IgG1 (OX-7 native) Abs and their in vitro sialylated variants (H5 +sial; OX-7 +sial). One representative of 2 independent ELISA experiments is shown in F and G.

Figure S7. IgM Ab sialylation regulates antigen-induced B cell activation. (A) Graphical representation of the experimental approach followed in B-D. WT mice were injected i.p. with ICs containing 100 µg of TNP-Ficoll and 50 µg of either native sialylated or sialidase-treated (de-sial) monoclonal anti-TNP IgM (each group, n=6). The positive control group received PBS and TNP-Ficoll (no IC). (B) Coomassie blue staining of a SDS PAGE gel with 10 µg of heat-denatured native monoclonal anti-TNP IgM Ab. The lanes were run on the same gel but were noncontiguous. (C) The frequency of sialic acid (S) containing glycan structures on the indicated IgM Abs were determined through PNGaseF-treatment and MALDI-TOF MS (Supplemental Figure 8). The bars represent the means. (D) Anti-TNP serum IgG levels on d 12 were determined via ELISA. One representative of 2 independent experiments is shown.

Figure S8. Possible N-glycans linked to IgM. (A) IgM Abs contain 5 conserved glycosylation sites, and 2 of these sites bear oligo-mannose glycans (65). The largest N-glycans bearing high-mannose, hybrid or complex structures with 2, 3 or 4 terminal GlcNAcs, respectively, are depicted. Dark-blue: N-acetyl-glucosamine (GlcNAc; A); green: mannose (Man; M); light-blue: bisecting GlcNAc (B); red: fucose (Fuc; F); yellow: galactose (Gal; G); pink: sialic acid (Neu5Ac; S). The monoclonal IgM contains only human Neu5Ac and no murine Neu5Gc because it was produced in human HEK 293 cells. MALDI-TOF MS was performed from PNGaseF-released N-glycans. The cleavage site of PNGaseF is indicated with an arrow. (B) Potential IgM N-glycan structures released with PNGaseF. The numbers show the molecular masses (m/z) of the possible N-glycan structures (permethylated).
