Research Abstract |
Recently, the important roles of"regulatory B cells"in the regulation of immune responses have been widely appreciated. To further clarify the molecular mechanisms of regulatory B cell functions, identification of marker molecules specific for regulatory B cells is necessary. In this study, we have attempted to identify such genes using comprehensive gene expression analysis. We have identified approximately 180 candidate genes. We are currently studying the in vivo and in vitro functions of 10 candidate transcriptional genes among them.
