Inactive disease in lupus patients is linked to autoantibodies to type-I interferons that normalize blood IFNα and B cell subsets
2021-04-07
Abstract excerpt
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is characterized by a prominent increase in expression of type-I interferon (IFN)-regulated genes in 50-75% of patients. Here we investigate the presence of autoantibodies (auto-Abs) against type I IFN in SLE patients and their possible role in controlling disease severity. We report that out of 491 SLE patients, 66 had detectable anti-IFNα-auto-Abs. The presence of neutralizing...
