B cells secreting IL-10 functionally are recognized as functional regulatory B(B_(reg))cells;however,direct evidence concerning the phenotype,regulation,and functional and clinical relevance of IL-10-secreting B_(reg)...B cells secreting IL-10 functionally are recognized as functional regulatory B(B_(reg))cells;however,direct evidence concerning the phenotype,regulation,and functional and clinical relevance of IL-10-secreting B_(reg)cells in humans is still lacking.Here,we demonstrate that,although IL-10 itself is anti-inflammatory,IL-10+functional B_(reg)cells in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE)display aggressive inflammatory features;these features shift their functions away from inducing CD8^(+)T cell tolerance and cause them to induce a pathogenic CD4^(+)T cell response.展开更多
