IL-15 expression on RA synovial fibroblasts promotes B cell survival

The purpose of this study was to examine the role of RA Synovial Fibroblast (RASFib) IL-15 expression on B cell survival. Magnetically sorted peripheral blood memory B cells from 15 healthy subjects were cocultured with RASFib. RASFib constitutively expressed membrane IL-15. Survival of isolated B c...

Zusammenfassung:The purpose of this study was to examine the role of RA Synovial Fibroblast (RASFib) IL-15 expression on B cell survival. Magnetically sorted peripheral blood memory B cells from 15 healthy subjects were cocultured with RASFib. RASFib constitutively expressed membrane IL-15. Survival of isolated B cells cultured for 6 days, below 5%, was extended in coculture with RASFib to 52+/-8% (p
