Bone Marrow In Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Patients Contain a Highly Elevated Proportion Of Somatically Mutated, Activated Naive Cells Comprised Of Substantial Clonal Expansions
Background/Purpose: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a disease where autoreactive antibodies are produced as a result of abnormal B cell activation and broken self-tolerance. This…Abstract Number: 1647 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
An Altered Frequency Of Circulating Follicullar T Helper Cell Counterparts and Their Subsets Is Associated With Increased Circulating Plasmablasts In Seropositive RA Patients
Background/Purpose: Follicular T helper (Tfh) cells, a CD4 T helper subset localized in lymphoid organs, help B cell differentiation and function. Circulating CD4 T cells…Abstract Number: 42 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Inhibition Of B Cell Differentiation To The Plasmablast and Plasma Cell Lineage By CC-220, a Potent Modulator Of The Cereblon E3 Ubiquitin Ligase Complex
Background/Purpose: CC-220 is an immunomodulatory compound which binds to the CUL4 family E3 ubiquitin ligase complex protein cereblon (CRBN) with high affinity and modulates the…Abstract Number: 24 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Plasma Cells In Acute Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Flares Are Characterized By a Highly Diversified Repertoire Accentuated By Clonal Expansions Of VH4-34 Antibodies
Background/Purpose :Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease in which faulty B cell tolerance promotes the generation of multiple autoantibodies of which anti-ds DNA,…
