SAT0272 RITUXIMAB SIGNIFICANTLY DIMINISHES CD86+ B CELLS IN SYSTEMIC SCLEROSIS

Published: Jun 1, 2019
Abstract

Background:

Rituximab (RTX) is a monoclonal antibody that targets the CD20 surface marker. This results in a reduction of CD20+ immune cell populations, foremost B cells. B cell depletion via RTX was found to be beneficial for patients suffering from systemic sclerosis (SSc), leading to an improvement of skin fibrosis and autoimmunity (1,2). However, little is known about the influence of RTX on specific B subsets in SSc....
