Foxp3 is a transcript factor for regulatory T cell development. Interestingly, Foxp3-expressing cells were identified in B cells, especially in CD19(+)CD5(+) B cells, while those were not examined in CD19(+)CD5(-) B cells. Foxp3-expressing CD5(+) B cells in this study were identified in human PBMCs and were found to consist of $8.5{\pm}3.5%$ of CD19(+)CD5(+) B cells. CD19(+)CD5(+)Foxp3(+) B cells showed spontaneous apoptosis. Rare CD19(+)CD5(+) Foxp3(+) regulatory B cell (Breg) population was unveiled in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells and suggested as possible regulatory B cells (Breg) as regulatory T cells (Treg). The immunologic and the clinical relevant of Breg needs to be further investigated.

$Cd_{0.5}Zn_{0.5}S/ZnO$ 형태의 복합체 광촉매를 침전법으로 제조하였고, 이들 화합물의 특성을 XRD, UV-vis DRS, PL 및 FE-SEM 등을 이용하여 조사하였다. 그리고 가시광선 조사 하에서의 로다민 B 분해반응에 대한 광촉매로서의 활성을 조사하였다. ZnO와는 달리 $Cd_{0.5}Zn_{0.5}S/ZnO$는 자외선 뿐만 아니라 가시광선 영역의 빛도 효율적으로 흡수하며 특히 $Cd_{0.5}Zn_{0.5}S$의 함량 증가에 따라 가시광선 영역의 빛에 대한 흡광도도 증가하였다. 또한 $Cd_{0.5}Zn_{0.5}S/ZnO$에 있어서 $Cd_{0.5}Zn_{0.5}S$의 함량이 증가할수록 최종 입자들의 크기가 작아지고 그 결과 비 표면적이 증가하였다. 로다민 B의 광분해 반응에 있어서는 $Cd_{0.5}Zn_{0.5}S$ 함량이 높은 $Cd_{0.5}Zn_{0.5}S/ZnO$ 촉매일수록 상대적으로 높은 광촉매 활성을 보여주었다. 그러므로 $Cd_{0.5}Zn_{0.5}S/ZnO$ 광촉매의 활성에 있어서는 촉매의 흡착능력 뿐만 아니라 $Cd_{0.5}Zn_{0.5}S$와 ZnO 사이의 heterojunction 효과도 중요하게 작용하는 것으로 보인다.

IL-10-producing B (Breg) cells regulate various immune responses. However, their phenotype remains unclear. CD40 expression was significantly increased in B cells by LPS, and the Breg cells were also enriched in $CD40^{hi}CD5^+$ B cells. Furthermore, CD40 expression on Breg cells was increased by IL-10, CD40 ligand, and B cell-activating factor, suggesting that $CD40^{hi}$ is a common phenotype of Breg cells. LPS-induced CD40 expression was largely suppressed by an anti-IL-10 receptor antibody and in IL-$10^{-/-}CD5^+CD19^+$ B cells. The autocrine effect of IL-10 on the CD40 expression was largely suppressed by an inhibitor of JAK/STAT3. In vivo, the LPS treatment increased the population of $CD40^{hi}CD5^+$ Breg cells in mice. However, the population of $CD40^{hi}CD5^+$ B cells was minimal in IL-$10^{-/-}$ mice by LPS. Altogether, our findings show that Breg cells are largely enriched in $CD40^{hi}CD5^+$ B cells and the autocrine effect of IL-10 is critical to the formation of $CD40^{hi}CD5^+$ Breg cells.

저자들은 1993년 3월에서 1997년 9월까지 영남대학교 의과대학 부속병원 임상병리과에 면역학적 표지자 검사가 의뢰된 153명의 백혈병 환자의 결과를 분석하였다. 여기에는 AML 61례, ALL 46례, FAB 아형이 확정되지 않았던 12례 등이 포함되어 있었다. EDTA 항응고처리한 골수나 말초혈액에서 단핵세포층을 분리한후 일련의 단클론항체와 FITC 표지 이차항체를 이용하여 면역형광염색법을 실시한 후 형광현미경으로 관찰하였다. AML 61례에서의 비전형적인 표지자 표현 양상을 보면 CD7 32.8%, CD10 14.8%, CD5 13.1%, CD2 6.6%, CD4 4.9%, CD19 1.6%의 양성률을 보였고, TdT 양성은 3.9%였다. 혼성 백혈병으로 최종 진단을 내린 경우는 13.1%로 그 중 단구성 계열이 대부분(6/8)이었다. ALL 46례에서의 면역학적 검사에 따른 분류에 따르면 CALLA(+) B precursor형이 65.2%를 차지하였고, CALLA(-) B precursor형이 10.9%, T 세포형 8.7%, B 세포형 2.2%, 혼성림프구형(B&T) 4.3%, 미분화성 백혈병 2.2%였고, 혼성 백혈병으로 진단된 경우는 6.5%였다. 골수성 표지자 양성인 ALL은 CD13이나 CD33 양성인 례가 각각 2.2%였다. 급성 백혈병에서 골수형태와 세포화학검사로 FAB 아형을 확정하지 못한 12례에서 혼성 백혈병이 5례(41.7%)였고, 림프구 계열이 7례(58.3%)였으며 그 중 B 세포계열이 3례, T 세포계열이 3례, 혼성 림프구형(B&T)이 1례로 나타났다. 결론적으로는, 면역학적 표지지 검사로 더 정확하게 AML과 ALL을 감별할 수 있었으며, M0, M7 아형진단에도 도움이 되며, 형태학적, 세포화학적검사로 정확히 진단할 수 없었던 급성 백혈병의 분류에 도움이 되었다. 따라서 급성 백혈병의 진단을 위하여 FAB 분류 뿐 만 아니라 면역학적 표지자 검사를 함께 시행한다면 보다 정확한 진단에 도움을 줄 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

Background: CD27 is recently known as a memory B cell marker and is mainly expressed in activated T cells, some B cell population and NK cells. CD27 is a member of tumor necrosis factor receptor family. Like CD40 molecule, CD27 has (P/S/T/A) X(Q/E)E motif for interacting with TNF receptor-associated factors (TRAFs), and TRAF2 and TRAF5 bindings to CD27 in 293T cells were reported. Methods: To investigate the CD27 signaling effect in B cells, human CD40 extracellular domain containing mouse CD27 cytoplamic domain construct (hCD40-mCD27) was transfected into mouse B cell line CH12.LX and M12.4.1. Results: Through the stimulation of hCD40-mCD27 molecule via anti-human CD40 antibody or CD154 ligation, expression of CD11a, CD23, CD54, CD70 and CD80 were increased and secretion of IgM was induced, which were comparable to the effect of CD40 stimulation. TRAF2 and TRAF3 were recruited into lipid-enriched membrane raft and were bound to CD27 in M12.4.1 cells. CD27 stimulation, however, did not increase TRAF2 or TRAF3 degradation. Conclusion: In contrast to CD40 signaling pathway, TRAF2 and TRAF3 degradation was not observed after CD27 stimulation and it might contribute to prolonged B cell activation through CD27 signaling.

Objectives : To evaluate experimentally the clinical effect of Bojeongjeongcheon-tang, we observed the cytokines ($IL-1{\beta}$/TEX>, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-{\alpha},{\;}TGF-{\beta},{\;}IFN-{\gamma}$) and what effect they have on IgE in B cells of a rat. Methods : First of all, we extracted the spleens of healthy Balb/c mice and separated B cells from them. These B cells were cultured with anti-CD40 mAb (500 ng/ml), rmIL-4 (500 U/ml), Bojeongjeongcheon-tang (100 ug/ml, 10 ug/ml, 1 ug/ml). We used rmiL-10 (50 ng/ml) as a control group. Furthermore, we analyzed the expression of IgE, CD23, CD69 and the coherence of HRF in B cells using a flow cytometer. We also analyzed the cytokine gene expression in B cells by reverse transcriptase-PCR. We also measured B cells proliferation using the Liquid Scintillation Counter. Results : In this study, the Bojeongjeongcheon-tang treated group showed a tendency to decrease depending on the density compared with the control group in the expression of IgE+, CD23+, CD69, HRF. All of the Bojeongjeongcheon-tang treated group showed inhibitory effects with $IL-1{\beta}$, IL-4, IL-5 and proliferating effects with IL-6, IL-10, and $IFN-{\gamma}$ on cytokines transcript expression depending on the density. Meanwhile, $TNF-{\alpha}$ increased in all density. In IgE production, there was inhibitory effect on Bojeongjeongcheon-tang (both 100 ug/ml and 10 ug/ml) of significance (p < 0.01, p < 0.05). Also in B cell proliferation, the result revealed an inhibitory effect of Bojeongjeongcheon-tang (both 100 ug/ml and 10 ug/ml), of significance (p < 0.001, p < 0.01). Conclusions : This study shows that Bojeongjeongcheon-tang has an inhibitory effect on the production and activity of B cells. Also it inhibited CD23, IL-4 activity and IgE production and activation. It is obvious that Bojeongjeongcheon-tang treats asthma by inhibiting the production of histamine and HRF, IL-5 and proliferating IL-10. Also Bojeongjeongcheon-tang has some preventive effects on bronchial change by inhibiting $TGF-{\beta}$, which stimulates the bronchial transformation.

Lupus is characterized by immunoregulatory abnormalities between T- and B-cells leading to autoantibody production and multiorgan injuries. We investigated whether bamboo culm extract (BC) ameliorates aberrant activation of T cells and B cells and attenuate production of IL-6 in pristane-induced lupus mice. Lupus was induced by i.p. a single injection of 0.5 ml of pristane in female BALB/c mice, which, later about 4 months, were used as a lupus model. The pristane-induced lupus mice and healthy mice were injected i.p. with BC 5 ${\mu}l$/kg or PBS once a day for 3 weeks. These results demonstrated that BC significantly decreased levels of serum and BAL IL-6 and production of IL-6 by macrophages with/without LPS, and downregulated expression of NKT cell and CD86+ CD45R/B220+, but not CD80+CD45R/B220+ and CD69+CD4+ in the splenocytes in pristaneinduced lupus mice. Moreover, BC greatly increased Con A-stimulated production of IL-6, IL-10 and IFN-${\gamma}$ by splenocytes obtained from pristane-induced lupus mice. Therefore, our findings suggest that BC may ameliorate lupus pathogenesis in pristane-induced lupus mice via downregulation of aberrant activation of NKT cells and B cells and inhibition of production of IL-6.

We fed high trypotophan diet(3.5% tryptophan/diet(w/w) to mice for 7 days and treated then with 3 hour immobilization(IMMB) stress to investigate tryptophan metabolism and immunomodulation. The levels of serum tryptophan, brain tryptophan, serotonin(5HT) and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid(5HIAA) in the tryptophan diet fed animals were higher than those of the normal diet fed animals. Feeding tryptophan supplemented diet to stressed animal significantly decreased the levels of serum and brain tryptophan and 5HT levels. However, the amount of 5HIAA which is the metabolite of serotonin was increased in brain. Plasma corticosterone level was increased by the stress in both groups but the degree of this increase was smaller in high tryptophan fed animals. The relative numbers of CD8+ T cells, CD4+ T cells and B cells in spleen were decreased in high tryptophan diet fed and stressed animals compared to control diet fed and no stressed animals. CD8+ T cells decreased more than CD4+ T cells. The decrease of CD8+ T cells in high tryptophan fed and stressed animals was similar to that in high tryptophan fed animals or normal diet fed and stressed animals. Stress and tryptophan supplement acted synergistically to decrease the number of B cells. This study suggests that stress and tryptophan supplement could modify the number of lymphocyte cells, and indicates that the interaction of stress and tryptophan supplement on immune fuction depends on the types of immune cells.
