Hemoglobin drives inflammation and initiates antigen spread and nephritis in lupus
2020-11-27
Abstract excerpt
Hemoglobin (Hb) has well-documented inflammatory effects and is normally efficiently scavenged; clearance mechanisms can be overwhelmed during conditions of erythrocyte lysis, a condition that may occur in systemic lupus erythematosus. Whether Hb is preferentially inflammatory in lupus and additionally induces autoreactivity against prominent autoantigens was assessed. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells derived fr...
