Abstract

The present invention provides agents for regulating the activity of interferon-producing cells (IPCs), which comprise as active ingredients antibodies that bind to BST2 and/or to its homologues, and methods for regulating IPC activity that use these antibodies. According to the present invention, the ability of IPCs to produce interferons (IFNs) and the number of cells can be directly regulated. The present invention also provides uses of BST2 and/or its homologues as markers for IPC activation. Compounds that regulate IPC activation can be screened using the markers for IPC activation.
