Abstract
Background B cell immune dysregulation plays a critical role in myasthenia gravis (MG). However, targeted B-cell therapy such as rituximab may result in long-term peripheral B cell clearance and allow for the survival of plasma cells, contributing to frequent infections and relapses. Therefore, we aimed to identify potential novel therapeutic targets that preserve part of B cell function while inhibiting antibody-secreting cells (ASCs).
