Double-Negative B Cell Expansion Defines a Relapse-Prone Immunophenotype in Newly Diagnosed Giant Cell Arteritis

Background: Giant cell arteritis (GCA), traditionally considered T cell-driven, exhibits vascular B/plasma-cell infiltrates and altered circulating B-cell homeostasis, suggesting a pathogenic role for B cells. Relapse is common in newly diagnosed GCA (nGCA), yet predictive biomarkers remain elusive. Objective: To characterize circulating B-cell subpopulations in nGCA and assess their association…
