Effects of HDACi on Immunological Functions

Methods Mol Biol. 2017:1510:93-101. doi: 10.1007/978-1-4939-6527-4_7.

Abstract

Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) are used as therapeutics for several B cell-derived malignancies. Furthermore, they have been shown to modulate the response of the immune system, like the B cell function. HDACi treatment affects differentiation, proliferation, and survival of B cells. Here we describe how to investigate the effects of HDACi treatment on naïve B cells regarding class-switch recombination (CSR) in vitro using flow cytometry.

Keywords: Class switch recombination; Flow cytometry; HDAC inhibition; Magnetic separation; Naïve B lymphocytes.
