Abstract excerpt
Macrophages respond to endogenous and non-self stimuli acquiring the M1 or M2 phenotypes, corresponding to classical or alternative activation, respectively. The role of B-1 cells in the regulation of macrophage polarization through the secretion of interleukin (IL)-10 has been demonstrated. However, the influence of B-1 cells on macrophage phenotype induction by an immunogen that suppress their ability to...
