Abnormalities of B cell activation and immunoregulation in patients with chronic inflammatory liver diseases.

abstract：:The role of the thymic microenvironment in the development of murine thymic B cells has yet to be fully clarified. We therefore investigate the microenvironment that supports the development of mature thymic B cells (sIg+/B220+/CD43-B cells) from thymic B cell progenitors with immunophenotypes of sIg-/B220med/CD43+ ce...
