Abstract
B1 lymphocytes may be subdivided by CD5 and CD11b/Mac1 expression into B1a, with the CD5 and CD11b/Mac1 phenotype, and B1b, which present as CD19hiCD5loCD11bhi. B1b cells share many surface and functional characteristics with marginal zone B cells but differ in distribution and B cell receptor (BCR) signalling pathways. They are normally concentrated in the peritoneum, pleural cavities, spleen and bone marrow and function as efficient phagocytes and antigen-presenting cells (APCs). While peritoneal B1b cells are relatively anergic, they may be activated by high cytokine levels, notably IL-10, IL-5 and IL-21, CD40 signalling and high doses of Toll-like receptor (TLR) ligands in the context of..
