Requirement for increased IL-10 in the development of B-1 lymphoproliferative disease in a murine model of CLL.
15 Oct 1996
Abstract excerpt
Malignant B-1 cells derived from NZB mice, a murine model of spontaneous autoimmunity and B cell lymphoproliferative disease, produce significantly higher levels of IL-10 mRNA than normal B-1 or B cells. IL-10 may act as an autocrine growth factor for the expansion of malignant B-1 cells. In order to determine if elevated endogenous production of IL-10 was a required element for the malignant transformation of...
