Preventing the Production of Autoreactive B Cells in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Abstract

The main goals of our research project have not changed and consist in studying the defective central B cell tolerance in MISTRG6 humanizedmice engrafted with hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) isolated from the bone marrow of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Wealso proposed to test whether PTPN22 blockade may prevent the production of developing autoreactive B cells in humanized mice engrafted with HSCs from patients with SLE injected with LTV-1 PTPN22 inhibitor.
