摘要
Graves’病(GD)是一种B细胞介导、T细胞依赖的器官特异性自身免疫性疾病.其致病性抗体促甲状腺激素受体抗体(TRAb)能导致甲状腺素分泌增加,促进甲状腺增生.以往Graves’病研究认为,B细胞主要通过分泌致病性抗体发挥作用,但是新近研究结果提示,B细胞在疾病中具有更广泛的作用,如抗原提呈、分泌细胞因子等.因此,进一步阐明B细胞在Graves’病中的作用将为Graves’病治疗提供重要的理论基础.
Graves' disease(GD) is a B cell-mediated and T cell-dependent autoimmune disease. GD is characterized by the over-production of thyroid hormones and thyroid enlargement by agonistic anti-thyrotro- phin receptor autoantibody( TRAb). In addition to secrete pathogenic antibody in GD, B cells have recently been implicated to play important roles in antigen presentation, cytokine production and so on. Therfore, the study of B cell function will provide basis for the treatment of GD.
