Main Results:

  • T-cell abnormalities contribute to B-cell overactivation in lupus.
  • B-cell defects lead to impaired antibody production and tolerance.
  • Specific immune pathways are implicated in autoantibody generation.

Conclusions:

  • Dysfunctional T-cells and B-cells are central to lupus pathogenesis.
  • Targeting T-cell and B-cell pathways offers therapeutic potential.
  • Further research is needed to fully understand immune cell interactions in lupus.
