The role of regulatory B-cells in stroke is still under investigation; however, a study where transfer of WT B-cells into B-cell knockout mice, when compared with mice receiving IL-10−/− B-cells, 24 h before the induction of stroke showing reduced infarct volume suggests a strong role of IL-10-producing B-cells (Ren et al., 2011). The gene discussed is IL10; the disease is stroke disorder.
