  2. 1. B cells in Autoimmunity : Studies of Complement Receptor 1 & 2 and FcγRIIb in Autoimmune Arthritis

    Author : Kajsa Prokopec; Sandra Kleinau; Anna Erdei; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; B cells; complement receptors; fc gamma receptor IIb; autoimmune arthritis; rheumatoid arthritis; Immunology; Immunologi;

    Abstract : B cells are normally regulated to prevent activation against self-proteins through tolerance mechanisms.  However, occasionally there is a break in tolerance and B cells can become self-reactive, which might lead to the development of autoimmune disease. READ MORE

  4. 2. Function and Regulation of B-cell Subsets in Experimental Autoimmune Arthritis

    Abstract : B lymphocytes play a significant role in autoimmune arthritis, with their function stretching beyond autoantibody production to cytokine secretion and presentation of autoantigen. However, the involvement and activation of different B-cell subset in the autoimmune response is not fully clear. READ MORE

  5. 3. Mechanisms of pain in autoimmunity : the role of antibodies

    Author : Gustaf Wigerblad; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Chronic pain in autoimmune diseases, like rheumatoid arthritis (RA), is a common and life- changing problem for many patients. Treatment is usually aimed at reducing inflammation and preserving the function of affected tissues. Chronic pain, however, often persists despite optimal disease control. READ MORE
