The immune system will maintain the integrity of the organism from harmful non-malicious recognizes and protects the body against exo- and endogenous toxic substances and together with the nervous and endocrine system are among regulatory systems of the organism. Recently the evidence has supported the emerging concept of different B cell subpopulations to play a direct or indirect role in a pathogenesis of spectrum of disorders. However, so far the knowledge has been limited mainly in the way of how the specific differentiation stages of B lymphocytes are involved in pathogenesis of diseases and how course of disease, stage, and eventually different treatment can affect B cell homeostasis. This work is focused on the study of peripheral CD27+ B lymphocytes (one of the least explored human B lymphocytes) in healthy controls and patients with various immunopathologies, in this case we present representative results for patients with inflammatory bowel disease. Using polychromatic flow cytometry we examined 31 of peripheral blood samples, including 14 controls, 7 patients with Crohn's disease (CD) and 5 with ulcerative colitis (UC). In 6 patients with CD, we were able to perform immunophenotyping also 2 hours after intravenous administration of infliximab, and in one patient 14 days after drug...
