The central role of nucleic acids in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus [version 1; peer review: 3 approved]

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a prototypic autoimmune disease whose pathogenesis can be conceptualized by a model based on a central role for immune complexes (ICs) between antinuclear antibodies and nucleic acids. According to this model, ICs can promote pathogenesis by two main mechanisms:...
