Uncontrolled CD21low age-associated and B1 B cell accumulation caused by failure of an EGR2/3 tolerance checkpoint
1 Jan 2022
Abstract excerpt
CD21 low age-associated or atypical memory B cells are autoantibody enriched and poised for plasma cell differentiation. These cells overaccumulate in chronic infections, autoimmune disease, and immunodeficiency, posing the question of what checkpoints normally oppose their accumulation. Here, we reveal a critical role for paralogous calcium-NFAT-regulated transcription factors EGR2 and EGR3 that are induced in...
