An autoimmune disease variant of IgG1 modulates B cell activation and differentiation
4 Oct 2018
Abstract excerpt
An IgG1 SNP enhances autoimmunity One common feature of autoimmune diseases like systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is the presence of high titers of self-reactive antibodies. These result in immune complexes, inflammation, and tissue pathology. Consequently, the checkpoints that normally keep immunoglobulin G (IgG)–positive autoreactive B cells in check are of intense interest. Chen et al. report the presence of...
