In addition, the invention relates to a method of treating a B1 cell disorder in a host, comprising administering to the host an effective therapeutic amount of IL-12. The invention further encompasses a method of screening for substances (e.g., proteins, peptides, small molecules) which enhance or suppress the inhibition of B1 cell activity by IL-12. The invention also relates to a substance identified by the methods of screening for a substance which enhances or suppresses IL-12 inhibition of B1 cell activity.
