How do B cells mechanistically orchestrate tolerance to AQP4 and prevent autoimmunity in healthy individuals?

PARTIALLY ADDRESSED

The title suggests B cells actively maintain tolerance to AQP4, but the specific molecular mechanisms by which B cells prevent anti-AQP4 autoimmunity are not detailed. Understanding this tolerance mechanism is critical for developing targeted therapies for neuromyelitis optica. Gap type: unexplained_observation Source paper: B cells orchestrate tolerance to the neuromyelitis optica autoantigen AQP4. (2024, Nature, PMID:38383779)
