Inflammation causes resistance to anti-CD20 mediated B cell depletion

B cells play a central role in antibody-mediated rejection and certain auto-immune diseases. However, B-cell-targeted therapy such as anti-CD20 B cell-depleting antibody(aCD20) has yielded mixed results in improving outcomes. In…
