Background:  Bone marrow stromal cells act as regulators for B-cell growth and development through their surface molecules and cytokines. Bone marrow stromal antigen-2 (BST-2), also designated CD317 antigen, is a single- pass type II membrane protein. BST-2, which is expressed mainly on synovial cell lines and bone marrow stromal cell lines, is primarily expressed in liver, heart, placenta and lung tissues. BST-2 is thought to be involved in pre-B cell growth. It has been implicated in B cell activation in rheumatoid arthritis.
