B cells have regulatory functions in immune responses. Antigen-specific responses of B cell
subsets by allergen stimulation ex vivo were examined in milk allergy of late eczematous
reactions. Eight milk allergy subjects and 13 milk tolerant subjects were selected by
DBPCFC. PBMCs were stimulated by casein ex vivo and stained for B cell subsets using
monoclonal antibodies. CD19+ B cells unchanged from 8.7±3.8% to 8.0±5.1%(p= 0.504, n=
8) in the milk allergy group and decreased in the milk tolerant group from 8.5±3.2% to …
