T-cell and B-cell function in lupus.

Abstract excerpt

B-cell hyperactivity is characteristic of lupus and appears to be, in many instances, T-cell driven. Recent work continues to examine the paradox of T-cell activation in vivo and depressed T-cell function in vitro. The role of intrinsic B-cell abnormalities, particularly in CD5+ B cells, is an area of active investigation.
