Abstract
A role for B cells in autoimmune diseases is now clearly established both in mouse models and humans by successful treatment of multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis with anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies that eliminate B cells. However, the underlying mechanisms by which B cells promote the development of autoimmune diseases remain poorly understood. Here, we review evidence that patients with autoimmune disease suffer from defects in early...
