Interestingly, autoAbs to small nuclear ribonucleoprotein, Sjögren’s-syndrome-related antigen A (Ro/SSA), Jo-1, and synthetase syndrome (PL)-7 which are normally detected in SLE and other autoimmune diseases (54), were also identified in high levels in the plasma of the control mice and were depleted after BAFF neutralization. This evidence concerns the gene TNFSF13B and autoimmune disease.
