Although the inflammatory cytokine IL-10 is pivotal in regulatory B-cell function, detecting IL-10-producing B cells by intracellular IL-10 staining requires multiple steps and tedious preparation. In contrast, the Il10-eGFP reporter mouse model (VertX), generated in 2009, allows easier and quicker detection of IL-10-producing B cells with the possibility of sorting viable cells without membrane permeabilization and ex vivo activation. Even though detecting IL-10 cells is simpler, several nuances are important. For example, methanol-containing buffers delete GFP signal, while long-term fixation can maintain GFP intensity but decreases other intracellular signals (FOXP3, etc.). Here, we provide optimized and improved protocols for GFP detection in intestinal B cells and isolation techniques of lamina propria, spleen, mesenteric lymph node, peritoneum, and blood cells from VertX mice.

Dysregulated IL-10 producing regulatory B cells (Bregs) are associated with the progression of systemic lupus erythematosus. An immunomodulatory role of heat shock proteins (HSPs) is implicated in autoimmune diseases. However, the molecular basis underlying the role of Hspa13 in regulating Bregs function and lupus pathogenesis remains unclear.

Interleukin-10 (IL-10)-producing group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2) regulate inflammatory immune responses, yet their therapeutic potential remains largely unexplored. Here, we demonstrate that cell therapy with human ILC2 inhibits pathogenic T cell responses in humanized mouse models of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), resulting in reduced GVHD severity and improved overall survival without limiting the graft-versus-leukemia effect. ILC2 conferred superior protection from GVHD than IL-10 ILC2s, and blocking IL-10 and IL-4 abrogated ILC2 protective effects, indicating that these cytokines are important for the protective effects of ILC2.

Deficits in IL-2 signaling can precipitate autoimmunity by altering the function and survival of FoxP3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) while high concentrations of IL-2 fuel inflammatory responses. Recently, we showed that the non-beta IL-2 SYNTHORIN molecule SAR444336 (SAR'336) can bypass the induction of autoimmune and inflammatory responses by increasing its reliance on IL-2 receptor α chain subunit (CD25) to provide a bona fide IL-2 signal selectively to Tregs, making it an attractive approach for the control of autoimmunity. In this report, we further demonstrate that SAR'336 can support non-beta IL-2 signaling in murine Tregs and limit NK and CD8+ T cells' proliferation and function.

Background: The role of B cells in antitumor immunity remains controversial, with studies suggesting the protumor and antitumor activity. This controversy may be due to the heterogeneity in B cell populations, as the balance among the subtypes may impact tumor progression. The immunosuppressive regulatory B cells (Breg) release interleukin 10 (IL-10) but only represent a minor population.

Allergen-specific immunotherapy (AIT) induces immune tolerance, showing the highest success rate (>95%) for insect venom while a much lower chance for pollen allergy. However, the molecular switches leading to successful durable tolerance restoration remain elusive. The primary outcome of this observational study is the comprehensive immunological cellular characterization during the AIT initiation phase, whereas the secondary outcomes are the serological and Th2-cell-type-specific transcriptomic analyses.
