Dual stimulation by autoantigen and CpG fosters the proliferation of exhausted rheumatoid factor-specific CD21(low) B cells in hepatitis C virus-cured mixed cryoglobulinemia

INTRODUCTION: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) causes mixed cryoglobulinemia (MC) by driving clonal expansion of B cells expressing B cell receptors (BCRs), often encoded by the VH1-69 variable gene, endowed with both rheumatoid factor (RF) and anti-HCV specificity. These cells display an atypical CD21low ph...
