Abstract

Objective. Increased numbers of spontaneous Ig secreting B cells and elevated immunoglobulin levels have been described in Behcet's disease (BD), in addition to changes in numbers and activities of T cells, natural killer cells, and monocyte-macrophages. We investigated other characteristics of B cells in BD.
