Autoimmune diseases affect more than 23.5 million Americans. Traditional therapies for autoimmune diseases involve immunosuppressive drugs that globally dampen immune responses or target and kill large populations of normal immune cells. Both approaches lead to severe dysfunction of the immune system increasing the risk of infections and cancer. Therefore, a more targeted approach, modulating only the pathogenic autoimmune response, would be tremendously beneficial for autoimmune patients. However, only some novel targets involved in pathogenic autoimmune response have been discovered and it is likely that more remain, currently unknown. Here we review the data that have recently been described about T-bet + B cells (also known as ABCs). Some data suggest that this B cell subset includes cells that are pathogenic in autoimmune responses. Therefore procedures that target these cells might be useful in autoimmune therapies.
