Role of Nucleic Acid–Sensing TLRs in Diverse Autoantibody Specificities and Anti-Nuclear Antibody–Producing B Cells
15 Apr 2013
Abstract excerpt
Nucleic acid (NA)-sensing TLRs (NA-TLRs) promote the induction of anti-nuclear Abs in systemic lupus erythematosus. However, the extent to which other nonnuclear pathogenic autoantibody specificities that occur in lupus and independently in other autoimmune diseases depend on NA-TLRs, and which immune cells require NA-TLRs in systemic autoimmunity, remains to be determined. Using Unc93b1(3d) lupus-prone mice that...
