An analysis of abnormalities in the B cell receptor repertoire in patients with systemic sclerosis using high-throughput sequencing
14 Jan 2020
Abstract excerpt
Systemic sclerosis is a chronic multisystem autoimmune disease that is associated with polyclonal B cell hyperreactivity. The CDR3 of BCRs is the major site of antigen recognition. Therefore, we analyzed the BCR repertoire of patients with SSc. The BCR repertoires in 12 subjects including eight SSc patients and four healthy controls were characterized by high-throughput sequencing, and bioinformatics analysis...
