Abstract

In previous studies, B cells were ignored in multiple sclerosis (MS)pathogenesis, and researchers have focused more on the role of T cells in this disease.Recent evidence shows that there is an antigen-driven B-cell response in the central nervous system of patients with multiple sclerosis, and memory B cells/plasma cells are detectable in MS lesions.Simultaneously, the breakthrough of B cell-depleting therapies indicates that B cells may affect the pathogenesis of MS than expected.However, the exact mechanism of B cells in MS remains unclear.This review summarizes the research and progress of B cells in the mechanism and clinical treatment of MS in the past few years, and briefly describes the role of B cells in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis. Key words: Multiple sclerosis; B cell; B cell-depleting therapy; Immune reaction
