The pathogenic roles for B cells include direct functions such as production of autoantibodies and proinflammatory cytokines and indirect functions via antigen presentation to T cells. The efficacy of B cell-depleting strategies varies across diseases and likely reflects the complexity of disease pathogenesis and relative contribution of B cell roles. Additionally, B cell-depleting therapies do not equally target all B cell subsets in all patients, and this likely explains some of the variability in responses. Recent reports of B cell depletion with novel chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell approaches in an expanding number of autoimmune diseases highlight the potential role of B cell depletion in resetting immune tolerance.

Additionally, the influence of the liver's hemodynamics and anatomical features, particularly during liver fibrosis and cirrhosis, on the differentiation and function of adaptive immune cells is discussed. While the primary emphasis is on CD8+ T cells, recent findings regarding the involvement of B cells and CD4+ T cells in hepatic immunity are also reviewed. Furthermore, we address the challenges ahead and propose integrating cutting-edge techniques, such as spatial biology, and combining mouse models with human sample analyses to gain comprehensive insights into the liver's adaptive immunity.

The capacity of these proteins to evade cellular immune responses by inhibiting cytokine activation is complemented by poxviruses' strategies to block natural killer cells and cytotoxic T cells, often through interfering with antigen presentation pathways.
