abstract:
Glucocorticoids induce prompt clinical improvement in patients with IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) but their mechanisms of action in this specific condition are not fully understood. B lymphocytes appear central to IgG4-RD pathogenesis because B-cell depletion with rituximab leads to swift clinical responses. In the present work we aim to assess the effects of glucocorticoids on B-cell subpopulations in patients with IgG4-RD.
