B-cell responses in autoimmune diseases.
Autoantibodies are detected in most autoimmune diseases. Beyond their direct role in mediating tissue damage in some models, the characterization of several intracellular autoantigens and the study of the autoimmune B-cell repertoire favor an antigen-driven B-cell response in most autoimmune models studied.
