M2‐like macrophages polarized by Foxp3(−) Treg‐of‐B cells ameliorate imiquimod‐induced psoriasis
Our group have demonstrated that splenic B cells contributed to the CD4(+)CD25(−) naive T cells conversion into CD4(+)CD25(+)Foxp3(−) regulatory T cells without adding appended cytokines, named Treg‐of‐B cells which were potent suppressors of adaptive immunity. We like to investigate whether…
