Several studies have demonstrated that one of the anti-inflammatory mechanisms of action of intravenous immunoglobulin (Wig) involves the expansion of Tregs. Recently, we demonstrated that IVIgmediated Treg expansion involves the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2)-dependent induction of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in human dendritic cells (DCs). However, the validity of these findings in autoimmune patients is lacking.展开更多
