Innate Immune Receptors as Dynamic Modulators of Extrafollicular Autoimmune B Cell Response

Abstract excerpt

The immune system relies on carefully calibrated cellular machineries to enable distinction between endogenous and foreign molecules, with autoimmunity arising when this balance is disrupted. As potent autoantibody factories, B cells are major drivers of many autoimmune diseases. A significant fraction of patients affected by chronic autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) exhibit...
