Gut microbiota functional remodeling and butyrate depletion amplify anti-Ro/La antibody-driven type I interferon activation in neonatal lupus

The early-life gut microbiome may influence susceptibility to antibody-mediated neonatal autoimmunity, but the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. We investigated whether gut microbial functional capacity and metabolites influence autoantibody-dependent immune activat...
