The article discusses a research being done on B cells. It references the study "WASp-deficient B cells play a critical, cell-intrinsic role in triggering autoimmunity," by S. Becker-Herman and colleagues in the August 2011 issue. It identifies the Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein's (WASP) B cell-intrinsic role in autoantibody regulation and systemic autoimmunity development.
