Chronic BCR signaling generates and maintains age-associated B cells from anergic B cells
2023-07-29
Abstract excerpt
Accumulation of age-associated B cells (ABCs) with autoreactive properties contributes to the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases 1–5 . However, the mechanisms whereby ABCs are generated and maintained are not understood 1, 2, 4 . Here, we show that continuous stimulation of the B-cell receptor (BCR) with self-antigens plays a crucial role in ABC generation from anergic B cells and that this signal is vital for...
