2. Figure 1 Effector Mechanisms of Human and Mouse B Cell Autoimmunity
“Classic” antibody-dependent mechanisms are responsible either directly or through immune complexes for the pathogenesis of specific autoimmune diseases. Several other mechanisms, including antigen presentation (APC), costimulatory functions (surface molecules and secreted cytokines), and the ability to support de novo lymphoid tissue organization (neolymphogenesis) may explain other parts of B cell involvement in complex autoimmune conditions.
