Abstract
Self-reactive B cells are a hallmark of autoimmune disease and may directly contribute to disease pathogenesis. This Research Highlight article reviews four articles published in 2025 that offer new insights into the origins and drivers of self-reactive B cells. These studies investigate self-reactive B cells in human peripheral blood, murine models, and the role of viral and genetic drivers.
期刊介绍:
The Australasian Society for Immunology Incorporated (ASI) was created by the amalgamation in 1991 of the Australian Society for Immunology, formed in 1970, and the New Zealand Society for Immunology, formed in 1975. The aim of the Society is to encourage and support the discipline of immunology in the Australasian region. It is a broadly based Society, embracing clinical and experimental, cellular and molecular immunology in humans and animals. The Society provides a network for the exchange of information and for collaboration within Australia, New Zealand and overseas. ASI members have been prominent in advancing biological and medical research worldwide. We seek to encourage the study of immunology in Australia and New Zealand and are active in introducing young scientists to the discipline.
