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 |
