Upon completion, participants will understand that B cells are not only involved in antibody production, but that they also regulate human disease processes through expression of anti-inflammatory and pro-inflammatory cytokines cytokines.
Upon completion, participants will be able to identify regulatory and inflammatory B cells subsets based on their cytokine expression.
Upon completion, participants will be able to describe how the ratio of anti-inflammatory to pro-inflammatory cytokines expressed by B cells defines a patient’s immunological reactivity and predicts renal transplant outcomes
