PJ Maglione New Paper

This work demonstrated that B cells, which typically protect us against infection, function abnormally and promote interstitial lung disease in patients with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID). CVID is a primary immunodeficiency, a type of disorder where individuals have an immune system that does not function properly – causing infections and, for reasons not understood, also […]
