摘要
The whole life of a B-cell from a stem cell to a mature plasma cell is governed, among other factors, by cytokines and growth factors in their microenvironment. Remarkable progress in the understanding of the mechanisms of cytokines action on the B-cell compartment was achieved by analysis of gene-targeted mice. The generation of mice deficient for individual cytokines or their receptors has shed light on the in vivo function of cytokines in B-cell responses. This review focuses on the role of cytokines in the development, maturation and differentiation of different B-cell subsets into antibody-secreting cells or memory B-cells. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd.
