Haptoglobin polymorphism: a key factor in the proatherogenic role of B cells?

Atherosclerosis - 1 Jul 2011

Delanghe Joris R, Langlois Michel R, De Buyzere Marc L

Abstract excerpt

B cells play a role in atherosclerosis. B lymphocytes may reduce the progression of vascular disease. Antibody production against modified auto-antigens is an element in the atheroprotective involvement of B lymphocytes. Paradoxical evidence is emerging from animal studies that suggest a proatherogenic B-cell behaviour independently of autoantibody production. One aspect that has received limited consideration is...
