Methods and compositions, e.g., therapeutic agents, are provided for modulating gene and/or protein expression of Forkhead Box protein 1 (Foxp1), particularly Foxp1A and Foxp1D, in CD4+ T cells. Such modulation permits manipulation of the B cell response and antibody production and activity, without depleting the number, production or activity of the T cells. In one aspect, methods and compositions for increasing or up regulating the nucleic acid and/or protein expression of Foxp1A, Foxp1D or a combination thereof in the subject's cells in vivo, inhibits or suppresses B cell response and antibody production or activity thereof in the subject. This aspect is useful for treating diseases characterized by excessive B cell response or antibody production or activity, such as autoimmune disorders
