Our data suggested that CD19+ CD24high CD38high Bregs seemed to increase reactively to suppress the disease activity, and are consistent with the hypothesis that CD19+ CD24high CD27+ Bregs might be involved in the development of type 1 AIP, although it still remains unclear whether the decrease of CD19+ CD24high CD27+ cells is cause or effect of AIP.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
