IL-2 and proteoglycans synergistically induce antigen-specific B-cell responses — A possible immune response in the hyperplastic myasthenia thymus
چکیده انگلیسی

To understand developmental mechanisms of effector B-cells in the hyperplastic MG thymus, we have evaluated immunological roles of IL-2 and the 100-kDa haemopoietic biglycan, because the number of their producers increases pathologically there. When these two factors were added to an immune system together, the number of antibody-producing cells was markedly increased in a synergistic fashion. Further, IL-2 and the conditioned medium of myoid cells induced immunoglobulin isotype switches, suggesting that new B-cell stimulatory microenvironments were generated in the hyperplastic thymus. In relation to this, we also discuss a new biological feature, an immunomodulator, of conventional biglycan and decorin.
