Abstract

See full text

The invention provides isolated regulatory immune cells as well as cell cultures and conditioned media derived therefrom. Also provided are methods of repressing B cell autoantibody production and/or secretion and methods of treating autoimmune disorders using regulatory immune cells or precursors thereto such as hematopoietic stem cells (HSC). The invention also provides methods of repressing B cell autoantibody production and/or secretion and methods of treating autoimmune disorders by administration of HSC and Macrophage-Colony Stimulating Factor (M-CSF). Further provided are methods of diagnosing in a mammalian subject a defect in regulatory cell mediated repression of autoantibody secretion by B cells.
