TACI‐dependent APRIL signaling maintains autoreactive B cells in a mouse model of systemic lupus erythematosus
7 Mar 2017
Abstract excerpt
Autoantibodies contribute to the development of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). APRIL (a proliferation‐inducing ligand), a member of the TNF superfamily, regulates plasma‐cell survival and binds to TACI (transmembrane activator CAML interactor) and BCMA (B‐cell maturation antigen). We previously showed that APRIL blockade delayed disease onset in lupus‐prone mice. In order to evaluate the role of APRIL...
