AIMS: B cell functions in the process of atherogenesis have been investigated but several aspects remain to be clarified. METHODS AND RESULTS: In this study, we show that follicular regulatory helper T cells (TFR) control regulatory B cell (BREG) populations in Apoe-/- mice models on a high-cholesterol diet (HCD). Feeding mice with HCD resulted in up-regulation of TFR and BREG cell populations, causing the...
