Autoantibodies produced at the site of tissue damage provide evidence of humoral autoimmunity in inclusion body myositis.
Inclusion body myositis (IBM) belongs to a group of muscle diseases known as the inflammatory myopathies. The presence of antibody-secreting plasma cells in IBM muscle implicates the humoral immune response in this disease. However, whether the humoral immune response actively contributes to IBM pat...
