What are the Mechanisms Behind B Cell Depletion in Neurology?
The precise mechanisms by which B cell depletion works in neurological diseases are not fully understood, but they likely involve: - Reduction of Autoantibody Production: By depleting B cells, the production of harmful autoantibodies is reduced. - Modulation of Cytokine Production: B cells are also involved in the production of cytokines, which can influence the immune response. - Antigen Presentation: B cells can present antigens to T cells, perpetuating the autoimmune response. Depletion of B cells may disrupt this process.
