B cells with regulatory properties have been recently identified and described in different immune disorders, including autoimmunity, infection, cancer, and allergy. in vitro studies of regulatory B cells are usually performed following prolonged cell culture and stimulation in order to obtain B cells capable of IL‐10 secretion. We describe the isolation of viable IL‐10‐positive B cells directly from ex vivo unstimulated samples using the IL‐10 secretion assay from Miltenyi Biotec, which was originally designed for IL‐10‐positive T cell analysis and isolation. IL‐10‐positive B cells from unstimulated samples represented approximately 2% of all B cells in healthy individuals, suppressed T cell proliferation and were enriched for surface markers of B cell activation. This tool has a potential to boost functional studies of IL‐10‐secreting B cells in health and disease. © 2018 International Society for Advancement of Cytometry
