B regulatory cells in allergy

B cells have classically been recognized for their unique and indispensable role in the production of antibodies. Their potential as immunoregulatory cells with anti-inflammatory functions has received increasing attention during the last two decades. Herein, we highlight pioneering studies in the field of regulatory B cell (Breg) research. We will review the literature on Bregs with a particular focus on their role in the regulation of allergic inflammation.

B cells have long been known for their role in antibody production, but recent research has highlighted their potential as immunoregulatory cells with anti-inflammatory functions. Studies in the field of regulatory B cell research, particularly in the context of allergic inflammation, have been groundbreaking.
