Background: There are at least two different subsets of B cells, B-1 and B-2. The characteristic features and function of B-2 cells in addition to the effect of steroids on B-2 cells are well-known. Although B-1 cells have different features and functions from B-2 cells, the effect of steroids on B-1 cells is not completely understood. Therefore, this study examined the effects of dexamethasone on peritoneal (or B-1 cells) and splenic B cells (or B-2 cells). Methods: Purified B cells were obtained from the peritoneal fluid and the spleens of mice. The isolated B cells were cultured in a medium and after adding different concentrations of dexamaethasone. The cell survival rate was measured by flow cytometry using propidium iodide. The expression level of the B cell surface marker was analyzed by flow cytometry. During the culture of these cells, immunoglobulin secreted into the culture supernatants was evaluated by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results: The survival rate of peritoneal and splenic B cells decreased with increasing dexamethasone concentration. However, the rate of peritofieal B cell apoptosis was lower than that of splenic B cells. CDS and B7.1 expression in peritoneal B cells and CD23 and sIgM expression in splenic B cells after the dexamethasone treatment were reduced. When B cells were treated with dexamethasone, the spontaneous IgM secretion decreased with increasing dexamethasone concentration. Conclusion: Dexamethasone induces apoptosis in peritoneal and splenic B cells. However, peritoneal B cells are less sensitive to dexamethasone. The dexamethasone suppressed expression of the surface markers in peritoneal B cells is different from those in splenic B cells.

Background: B-1 cells differ from conventional B-2 cells both phenotypically and functionally. The aim of this study was to investigate the difference between peritoneal B-1 cells and splenic B-2 cells in proliferation. Methods: We obtained sorted B-1 cells from peritoneal fluid and B-2 cells from spleens of mice. During the culture of these cells, immunoglobulin secreted into the culture supernatants was evaluated by enzymelinked immunosorbent assay. Entering of S phase in response to LPS-stimuli was measured by proliferative assay. Results: Spontaneous Immunoglobulin M production occurred in peritoneal B-1 cells but not in splenic B-2 cells. LPS stimulated peritoneal B-1 cells secreted IgM at day 1, but splenic B-2 cells at day 2. In thymidine incorporation, peritoneal B-1 cells entered actively S phase after 24hours LPS-stimulation but splenic B-2 cells entered actively S phase after 48 hours. Conclusion: IgM secretion and S phase entering occurred early in peritoneal B-1 cells compared to splenic B-2 cells.

Objective: Experimental studies were done to research the effects of Jahap-san(zige-san) on the allergic reaction Methods: For measuring the response about the antiallergic effect we investigated cytokines m-RNA expression of murine splenic B cell, production in anti-CD40 mAb-stimulated murine splenic B cells and the histamine release in IC-2 cells by anti-CD40 mAb-stimulated murine splenic B cells. Results: The extract of Jahap-san(zige-san) revealed significant decrease effect on cytokines m-RNA expression of murine splenic B cell, production in anti-CD40 mAb-stimulated murine splenic B cells and the histamine release in IC-2 cells by anti-CD40 mAb-stimulated murine splenic B cells. Conculusion : The extract of Jahap-san(zige-san) revealed significant effect on the antiallergy.

시험관 내에서 T-2 toxin이 병아리 비장세포의 blastogenesis에 미치는 영향을 살펴본 결과, B-cell mitogen인 lipopolysaccharide 및 T-cell mitogen인 concanavalin A 자극에 대해 T-2 toxin의 농도가 증가함에 따라 억제정도가 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 노출시기를 달리하여 T-2 toxin을 투여한 병아리의 비장세포에서 mitogen 자극에 내한 반응을 안아 본 결과, 부화하기 전과 후에 계속 T-2 toxin에 노출시킨 실험군은 가장 영향을 많이 받은 것으로 나타났고 부화전 혹은 부화후 어느 한 시기에만 T-2 toxin에 노출된 실험군은 비교적 영향을 적게 받는 것으로 나타났다.

We present the case of a 45-year-old man with a history of benzene exposure who developed splenic marginal zone lymphoma. For 6 years, he had worked in an enclosed space cleaning instruments with benzene. He was diagnosed with splenic marginal zone lymphoma 19 years after retirement. During his time of working in the laboratory in the 1980s, working environments were not monitored for hazardous materials. We indirectly estimated the cumulative level of past benzene exposure using job-exposure matrices and technical assumptions. Care must be taken in investigating the relevance of occupational benzene exposure in the occurrence of indolent B-cell lymphoma. Because of the long latency period and because occupational measurement data do not exist for the period during the patient's exposure, the epidemiological impact of benzene exposure may be underestimated.

Background: B cell subset has been divided into B-1 cells and B-2 cells. B-1 cells are found most prominently in the peritoneal cavity, as well as constituting a small pro portion of splenic B cells and they are larger and less dense than B-2 cells in morphology. This study was designed to compare the differences in their proliferation and differentiation between B-1 and B-2 cell. Methods: We obtained sorted B-1 cells from peritoneal fluid and B-2 cells from spleens of mice. Secreted IgM was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Entering of S phase in response to LPS-stimuli was measured by proliferative assay. Cell cycle analysis by propidium iodide was performed. p21 expression was assessed by real time PCR. Results: Cell proliferation and cell cycle progression in B-1 and B-2 cells, which did not occur in the absence of LPS, required LPS stimulation. After LPS stimulation, B-1 and B-2 cells were shifted to Sand G2/M phases. p21 expression by resting B-1 cells was higher than that of resting B-2 cells. Conclusion: B-1 cells differ from conventional B-2 cells in proliferation, differentiation and cell cycle.

The result were obtained as follows : 1. GMBT promote proliferation of splenic lymphocyte in vitro. 2. GMBT pretreated group was showed higher immune response than control group. 3. GMBT was not a rising effect in Con A but a rising effect in PHA. 4. GMBT treated group had highly producted more than 70% NO quality compared with control group. 5. GMBT was twice effect compared with control group in antibody production capacity of SRBC but meaningless m that of Anti-HBs Titer.

A marginal zone B-cell lymphoma is a type of B-cell lymphoma which is normally located at the margins of the secondary lymph node follicles. According to 2008 World Health Organization (WHO) classification, there are three main types classified according to the location of invasion: nodal lymphoma in the lymph nodes, splenic lymphoma in the spleen, and extranodal lymphoma in other locations. Recently, we have experienced a rare case of primary nodal marginal zone lymphoma that arose in the lower eyelid. Therefore, we report this case with a review of literature.

In order to evaluate the antiallergic effects of CSYJT, studies were done. We measured the cytotoxic activity for cytokines transcript expression, production of IL-4, IgE, $IFN-{\gamma}$, proliferation of B cell in HRF plus anti-CD40mAb plus rIL-4 stimulated murine splenic B cells. and cytokines transcript expression of IgE in Mast cell The results were obtained as follows: 1. CSYJT decreased the expression of IL-4 in mast cell significantly. 2. CSYJT decreased the production of IL-4 significantly. 3. CSYJT decreased the expression of IgE in mast cell significantly. 4. CSYJT decreased the production of IgE significantly. 5. CSYJT increased the appearance of $IFN-{\gamma}$. The facts above prove that CSYJT is effective against the allergy. Thus, I think that we should study on this continuously.

The immunomodulating activity of a polysaccharide isolated from Morus alba (PMA) root bark was examined in murine splenic lymphocytes. PMA enhanced proliferation of splenic lymphocytes in a synergistic manner in the presence of mitogens. However, PMA suppressed pri-may IgM antibody production from B cells, which was activated with lipopolysaccharide, a polyclonal activator, or immunized with a T-cell dependent antigen sheep red blood cells. Our observations showed that the immunomodulating activity of PMA increased lymphocyte proliferation and that PMA decreased antibody production from B cells, which was distinct from those of other plant-originated polysaccharides.
