Epigenetic Therapy as a Putative Molecular Target to Modulate B Cell Biology and Behavior in the Context of Immunological Disorders

Figure 2

HDAC activity is necessary for B1 cell behavior. Peritoneal cells were harvested from C57BL/6 male mice and cultured in medium (RPMI), medium+IL-5 (RPMI+IL-5), medium+iHDAC (RPMI+iHDAC), or medium+IL-5+iHDAC (RPMI+IL-5+iHDAC). Upon 48 hours in cell-free culture (a–e) or 24 hours on a feeder layer (h–j), B220+ cells were quantified by flow cytometry and B1 cells (B220low/CD11b+) were phenotyped. The data are represented as and are representative of cell cultures of 3 distinct animals in each experimental condition.  ng/mL;  nM.
