The findings add a new dimension to the source of autoimmune disease by showing that a mechanism other than B-cell receptor signaling is responsible for removing self-reactive B cells, study co ...

Summary: Unlike most tissues, the retina doesn’t summon neutrophils—the body’s typical first responders—when injured. Instead ...

The researchers discovered that depleting TLR9 impairs central tolerance and causes mice to produce increased numbers of self-reactive B cells and antibodies. Meffre and Barrat's teams found that ...

“Our data challenge the current paradigm that BCR signaling alone is responsible for the deletion of self-reactive B cells in the bone marrow, since we demonstrate that TLR9 signaling plays an ...

How regulatory T cells halt aberrant, self-reactive T cells Study reveals new therapeutic target to subdue autoimmune inflammation caused by loss of regulatory T cell function Date: January 24, 2023 ...

To help stop this from happening, the immune system tries to eliminate self-reactive B cells by exposing them to self-antigens as they develop in the bone marrow. This process, known as central ...
