Targeting a Subset of B Cells to Treat Autoimmune Diseases
Dr. Philippa Marrack and her lab have identified a new population of autoimmune associated B cells (ABCs) that appear in the blood and lymphoid organs of patients developing an autoimmune disease. They believe that early detection of ABCs in blood could identify patients developing autoimmunity before the onset of symptoms, and targeted depletion of these cells could lead to new treatments for autoimmune diseases.
