Objective The presence of antinuclear antibodies (ANAs) is characteristic for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Antibody dynamics over time are thought to reflect the cellular source of ANAs and their therapeutic targetability. Anti–double‐stranded DNA (anti‐dsDNA) is the most prevalent and well‐studied of all ANAs, and fluctuations in anti‐dsDNA ...

Mucosal‐Associated Invariant T Cells in Rheumatic Diseases
Mucosal‐associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are innate‐like T cells defined by their semi‐invariant T cell receptor and restriction by the major histocompatibility complex class I–related molecule (MR1). These cells are primarily activated by microbial‐derived metabolites presented by MR1 or by cytokines.
