Do antiphospholipid antibodies develop for a purpose?
Curr Rheumatol Rep.
2006 Apr.
Abstract
There is a growing body of literature suggesting that antiphospholipid antibodies develop for a purpose, that they play several key roles in the innate immune response, and are only rendered pathologic in susceptible people under adverse intravascular conditions. This paper will review evidence that the autoantibodies associated with the antiphospholipid syndrome develop from natural autoantibodies for purposes that are beneficial to host defense, and are only rendered pathologic as a result of adverse intravascular events.
