Abstract
Graphical abstract Establishment of an autoreactive B cell memory after myocardial infarction: a working hypothesis. The demise of cardiac cells leads to the release of cryptoantigens that induce a humoral immune response that leads to accumulation of immunoglobulins in plaques and eventually amplifies atherogenesis at remote sites.
