IL-21 drives expansion and plasma cell differentiation of autoreactive CD11chiT-bet+ B cells in SLE

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is associated with altered B cell responses but the underlying aetiology is still unclear. Here the authors show that a CD11chiT-bet+ B cell subset with a unique phenotype and transcriptome is increased in patients with SLE, can be expanded by IL-21, and may contri...

Sumario:Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is associated with altered B cell responses but the underlying aetiology is still unclear. Here the authors show that a CD11chiT-bet+ B cell subset with a unique phenotype and transcriptome is increased in patients with SLE, can be expanded by IL-21, and may contribute to autoimmune responses in SLE.
