Core Tip Thiopurine medications have been used to treat inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) for almost half a century. However, the effect of thiopurines on the human immune system in vitro remains unclear. The enclosed manuscript performed a thorough flow cytometric analysis of peripheral blood specimens from IBD patients with or without thiopurine therapy and found significant differences in B and NK cell populations associated with therapy. These suggest that thiopurines function to suppress inflammation in IBD not by causing T cell apoptosis, as had been suggested by in vitro data, but rather by depleting other lymphocytes.
