Women with Multiple sclerosis (MS) often experience clinical improvement during pregnancy, indicating that sex hormones might have therapeutic effects in MS. Our previous studies have demonstrated that B cells and PD-L1 are crucial for E2 (17β-estradiol) - mediated protection against experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). We here demonstrate that transfer of IL-10+ B cells into E2-treated PD-L1−/− mice after EAE induction could partially restore E2-mediated protection and decrease the frequency of pro-inflammatory cells in the CNS compared to E2/saline treated PD-L1−/− mice. Hence, co-administration of IL-10+ B cells and E2 might have a powerful therapeutic potential for treatment of EAE.
